Eric Keaveny

Dr. Eric Keaveny is a Reader in Applied Mathematics at the Department of Mathematics, Imperial College London. He is affiliated with multiple research groups including Applied Mathematics and Mathematical Physics, Biomathematics Group, Fluid Dynamics, and Mathematics in Medicine. His work focuses on computational modeling of fluid-structure interactions, particularly in biological systems such as microorganism locomotion and cilia-driven transport. He holds an EPSRC Standard Grant and an Imperial European Partners Fund Grant, and has received the Faculty of Natural Sciences Excellence in Teaching Award (2017). His research explores topics like coordinated motion of active filaments, stochastic suspensions, and hydrodynamic interactions in complex fluids.

Education: Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics (Brown University, 2008), ScM Applied Mathematics (Brown University, 2006), B.S. Applied Physics (Columbia University, 2001).

Research interests include microorganism locomotion, suspensions of interacting particles, low Reynolds number hydrodynamics, and numerical methods for fluid dynamics. His recent work involves simulating ciliary transport in lungs and developing algorithms for large-scale particle simulations.

Grants/Awards: EPSRC Standard Grant (2017-2021), Imperial European Partners Fund Grant (2017-2019), Fulbright Fellowship (2012). He has supervised multiple interdisciplinary collaborations, including a joint Imperial-TUM doctoral program.

Teaching: Currently lectures on Computational Dynamical Systems (MATH60023/70023). Previous courses include M3/4/5N9 (Autumn 2016).
