Carries out research of world-class excellence in a broad range of subjects across applied mathematics and theoretical physics
The Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics (DAMTP) is one of two Mathematics Departments at the University of Cambridge, the other being the Department of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics (DPMMS). The two Departments together constitute the Faculty of Mathematics, and are responsible for the teaching of Mathematics and its applications within the Mathematical Tripos.
DAMTP has a 50-year tradition of carrying out research of world-class excellence in a broad range of subjects across applied mathematics and theoretical physics. Members of DAMTP have made seminal theoretical advances in the development of mathematical techniques and in the application of mathematics, combined with physical reasoning, to many different areas of science. A unique strength is the G K Batchelor Laboratory, in which fundamental experimental science is also performed. Research students have always played a crucial role in DAMTP research, working on demanding research problems under the supervision of leading mathematical scientists and, in many cases, moving on to become research leaders themselves. The current aims of DAMTP are to continue this tradition, in doing so broadening the range of subject areas studied and using new mathematical and computational techniques.

Rayleigh scattering of the Cosmic Microwave Background: Towards a first detection with the next generation of surveys.
The cosmic microwave background (CMB) has been a treasure trove for cosmology. CMB experiments such as Planck have put stringent constraints on the now standard model for Cosmology: ΛCDM. Over the next decade, current and ... -
Bootstrap Techniques in Flat Space and Cosmology
The scientific understanding of the Universe is evolving at a rapid pace. Each new experiment yields more and more accurate measurements of its fundamental parameters. The standard cosmological model postulates a very early ... -
