Dr. John Bissell is a Senior Lecturer in Engineering Mathematics at the University of York. He holds a Ph.D. from Imperial College London and an M.A. from the University of Cambridge. Previously, he held roles including Senior Teaching Fellow at the University of Warwick (2018-2019), Teaching Fellow at the University of Bath (2015-2017), and Research Associate at the University of Durham (2012-2015).
His research focuses on thermal convection, buoyancy-driven instabilities, nonlinear heat flow, plasma transport, and dynamical systems analysis. He also explores applications of mathematical models in ecological and sociological systems. Notable contributions include studies on laser-produced plasmas, numerical methods for sparse matrices, and bifurcation theory in mechanical systems.
Recent publications emphasize pedagogical innovations in physics education, such as pendulum-based experiments for teaching mechanics, and analytical proofs for foundational mathematical concepts. His work bridges theoretical mathematics with practical engineering applications, including additive manufacturing simulations and grid electricity transmission analysis.
Bissell has co-edited Tipping Points: Modelling Social Problems and Health (Wiley, 2015) and contributed chapters on conformity bias in social dynamics and dimensional analysis in applied sciences. His research has been published in Proceedings of the Royal Society A, Physical Review Letters, and Physics of Plasmas.
