Professor Martin A. Bees is a faculty member in the Department of Mathematics at the University of York, holding the 50th Anniversary Professor of Mathematics title since 2012. He has previously served as Senior Lecturer and Reader at the University of Glasgow (2002-2012) and as Lecturer at the University of Surrey (1998-2002). His research spans mathematical biology, fluid dynamics, and pattern formation.
- PhD in Applied Mathematics, University of Leeds (1996)
- MA in Mathematics, University of Oxford (Balliol College)
His research focuses on six key areas: bioconvection (hydrodynamic instabilities from microorganism swimming), plankton dynamics (patchiness, chaotic advection), bacterial swarming (biofilm modeling, quorum sensing), chemoconvection (chemically induced fluid instabilities), ecology & biocontrol (slug-nematode-beetle dynamics), and physiology (retinal response modeling, wound healing). His work combines theoretical analysis, experiments, and collaborations across disciplines.
Recent publications highlight applications in active suspensions, microswimmer motility, and hydrodynamic synchronization. He has supervised numerous PhD students, including award-winning alumni Stephen O'Malley and C. Rosie Williams, and currently mentors Nick Bryant, James Mason, and Jack Patrick.
Awards include the Lee Segel Prize (2014) for best student coauthored article. His projects span funding from EPSRC, including work on anti-microbial resistance, industrial anaerobic digesters, and jet noise prediction. He actively participates in conferences, workshops, and public lectures to disseminate his research.
