Paul McMenemy

Paul McMenemy is a Lecturer in Pure Mathematics/Mathematical Modelling at the University of Stirling, affiliated with the Data Science (DAIS) and Mathematical Biology (BioMod) Research Groups. His research focuses on mathematical models addressing sewage discharge impacts on norovirus in shellfish, combinatorial optimisation, and bioeconomics, often collaborating with Professor Adam Kleczkowski (University of Strathclyde) and experts in aquaculture, mathematics, and economics.

• Education: 1st Class Honours in Mathematics & Computing Science, PhD in Mathematics
• Research Themes: Interdisciplinary work in biosecurity, food safety, climate change, and codeword optimisation
• Key Collaborations: DAASE project, global shrimp farming biosecurity analysis

He applies hyper-heuristics, genetic programming, and matheuristics to codeword construction and investigates climate-driven rainfall effects on wastewater management and coastal economies.
