David Chappell

David Chappell is an Associate Professor in Applied Mathematics at the School of Science and Technology, Nottingham Trent University. His research focuses on computational mathematical modeling with applications in acoustics, fluid mechanics, neuroscience, and structural vibrations. Key areas include wave energy transport, uncertainty quantification in vibroacoustic systems, convolution quadrature methods for transient waves, and neural field simulations using isogeometric analysis.

• Wave energy transport in composite structures
• Uncertainty quantification in high-frequency dynamics
• Hybrid numerical-asymptotic methods for wave modeling
• Neural field modeling on curved brain surfaces

Current research is funded by EPSRC (APP46305), Leverhulme Trust, and Innovate UK. He supervises postgraduate research students in mathematics and engineering disciplines.
