Seminar Series: Technology Trends 2006
professor PAUL SMITH
Paul Smith completed his PhD at Cambridge, following
undergraduate studies at Adelaide (BSc (Hons)). He was appointed to
the Chair of Mathematics at Macquarie in 2002. Previously he was
Professor of Applied Mathematics at Dundee, Scotland where he spent
some twenty years developing his research interests in wave
phenomena and non-linear dynamical systems. Thus involves a
synthesis of mathematical analysis, modeling and computation, and
cooperation with experimentalists. Such theoretical studies have
practical outcomes: he led the team which developed a device for
imaging and detecting anti-personnel landmines (it was successfully
deployed in Bosnia and elsewhere), and he holds patents for other
similar devices. He leads the Applied Mathematics Group at
Macquarie, and regularly consults for government and industry in UK,
USA and Australia.
