As part of the University’s Research with Impact campaign, IMIs research is being showcased in an article published today.
The article focuses on four IMI projects which show how our mathematics research is tackling global health challenges and highlights work by Dr Beate Ehrhardt, Mathematical Innovation Research Fellow, Dr Laura Oporto Lisboa, Mathematical Innovation Research Associate, and Dr Dan Burrows, Mathematical Innovation Research Associate:
Machine learning outperforms clinical experts in classifying hip fractures
Using data to improve treatment of inflammatory arthritis
Improving support for those who suffer with pain
Reducing drug development costs
The overall Research with Impact campaign focusses on the three key challenge areas of: sustainability, digital, and health & wellbeing. Through a series of articles, podcasts and videos, the campaign will highlight how Bath’s research is helping to shape the world as we work in partnership to create a healthier, more sustainable and connected future for us all.
Since IMIs launch in 2015, it’s team of dedicated mathematicians and statisticians have combined data analysis and mathematical modelling to support organisations in a range of sectors: from investigating techniques to remove bias from machine learning algorithms, to creating a model for researchers to understand how urban environments affect wellbeing in support of healthier urban planning. As a leading UK research institute in applied mathematics, the Institute adds value and impact to research by creating interdisciplinary connections through modelling, data science and machine learning. While IMI research spans themes such as environmental extremes and quantum technologies, its healthcare work is making a tangible impact.
