His research interests center on applied dynamical systems, with key areas including mathematical biology, bifurcation theory, pattern formation, fluid mechanics, and network analysis of socio-economic systems. He has made significant contributions to understanding oscillatory dynamics in cell fate decisions, echo state networks for time series analysis, and quantitative modeling of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) interlinkages. His recent publications demonstrate a strong trend toward interdisciplinary research, combining mathematical modeling with real-world policy challenges, particularly in sustainability and development.
His scientific awards include support from the Royal Society for undergraduate summer internships, reflecting his commitment to research training. He has supervised PhD students such as Fraser Waters and Edwin Watson-Miller, and has secured research funding for projects involving experimental fluid dynamics and mathematical modeling. His collaborations span departments and institutions, including Life Sciences at Bath, Physics at Surrey, and international partners in Brazil, Germany, and India.
Dawes leads research groups and projects involving network science applied to SDGs, echo state networks, and pattern formation in biological systems. He has developed and taught advanced courses such as Topics in Applied Dynamical Systems and Bifurcation Theory and Applications, and has mentored numerous students through summer internships and reading courses. His work continues to evolve with a growing emphasis on science policy, research security, and the role of mathematics in addressing global challenges.
