About
Ben Ashby is a Researcher at the Institute for Mathematical Innovation, University of Bath, specializing in interdisciplinary computational modeling. His work bridges mathematical theory with practical applications across environmental, medical, and public health domains.
Research interests focus on:
- Advanced numerical methods for physical systems (fluid dynamics, geophysical processes)
- Biomedical applications including proton therapy optimization
- Public health policy analysis through statistical modeling
- Computational approaches to environmental hazard prediction
Publication analysis reveals strong interdisciplinary focus, with recent work applying computational mathematics to: medical physics (proton transport), geophysics (landslide prediction), healthcare systems (patient preference modeling), and foundational numerical methods (error estimation, fluid discretization).
Currently leads the NERC-funded project: The eco-evolutionary dynamics of age-specific resistance to infectious disease (2020-2024), investigating evolutionary biology of disease resistance mechanisms.
