Laura Hattam

Laura Hattam is a Research Fellow at the University of Bath's Institute for Mathematical Innovation (IMI). Her work focuses on interdisciplinary research spanning mathematical modeling, environmental sustainability, and medical physics. She contributes to the UN Sustainable Development Goals through projects addressing climate change, bioenergy systems, and radiation therapy verification.

Her research interests include Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodologies, radiation transport modeling, and Bayesian approaches in proton therapy. She has collaborated on projects funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and Innovate UK, including the Mathematical Theory of Radiation Transport (MATHRAD) and Grid Frequency Measurement initiatives.

Key projects include developing LCA frameworks for construction products, quantifying uncertainties in environmental assessments, and advancing dose delivery verification in proton therapy. Her work integrates mathematical techniques with real-world applications in energy systems, disaster relief infrastructure, and climate policy.

Laura has authored over 20 peer-reviewed articles, including studies on stochastic error propagation in LCA and Bayesian inverse methods in medical physics. She also contributed to datasets like 'Temporal Climate Impacts,' exploring bioenergy's temporal climate effects.
