Dr. Matthew Durey

Biography

Matthew Durey is a Lecturer in Applied Mathematics at the University of Glasgow. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Bath in 2018. As an applied mathematician, he works on theoretical modeling, analysis, and simulation of physical and industrial systems. Matthew aims to identify and elucidate fundamental mechanisms underpinning various phenomena and develops first-principles models that are systematically explored using a wide range of mathematical, computational, and statistical techniques. He collaborates closely with experimental researchers to ensure that the models address key issues and iterates the theory in the laboratory, ultimately building a complete physical picture. His research interests lie primarily at the intersections of fluid mechanics, collective dynamics, and applied dynamical systems. He has a long-standing interest in pilot-wave hydrodynamics, specifically studying millimetric droplet bounces that self-propel on the surface of a vertically vibrating liquid bath. His research program has expanded to include topics such as nonlinear wave resonance, pattern formation, and various problems arising in industry.
