Professor Andrew Bassom is a Professor of Applied Mathematics and Head of Discipline in Mathematics at the University of Tasmania's School of Natural Sciences. He holds a PhD and has held prior appointments at the University of Western Australia (UWA) and the University of Exeter (UK). His research focuses on fluid mechanics, differential equations, and mathematical modelling with applications to ocean flows, geophysics, and biomedical engineering (e.g., ventilation of premature babies).
Research Interests: Applied mathematics, theoretical and applied mechanics, fluid dynamics, and nonlinear systems. Recent work involves magnetic bubble dynamics, climate system hyperbolicity, thermal convection patterns, and seismicity modelling in mining contexts.
Grants & Projects: Key projects include:
- A$460,000 ARC Discovery Project (2019–2023) studying Antarctic ice-sheet collapse via seismic signals.
- A$15,000 ARC College of Experts 2023 nomination grant.
- Modelling mining-induced seismicity using the Material Point Method (MPM).
Teaching & Supervision: Teaches third-year/honours applied mathematics units. Current doctoral supervision includes projects on climate system hyperbolicity, non-spherical bubbles, and ice-rock interface dynamics. Completed students include Earl Sullivan Lester (dark matter cosmology) and Gysbert Basson (MPM applications in mining).
Publications: Over 228 peer-reviewed articles, emphasizing fluid mechanics innovations and interdisciplinary applications. Recent trends focus on geophysical fluid dynamics, climate modelling, and computational methods for complex systems.
