معرفی
Dr Richard John Bingham is a Lecturer jointly appointed in the Departments of Mathematics and Biology at the University of York since 2018, working within Professor Reidun Twarock's research group on mathematical virology. His role bridges theoretical modeling and experimental virology to decode viral evolution and structure.
His academic foundation includes an MPhys in Theoretical Physics and PhD in Biophysics from the University of Leeds, followed by postdoctoral positions at Queen's University Belfast and Leeds. This interdisciplinary training underpins his quantitative approach to biological systems.
Research focuses on Mathematical & Computational Virology, developing frameworks for viral assembly, evolution, and infection dynamics. His Mathematical Modelling expertise spans nonlinear systems and uncertainty quantification, while Data Science techniques extract patterns from complex virological datasets. Work emphasizes collaboration between mathematicians and experimentalists.
Recent publications (2021-2022) reveal a cohesive trajectory: applying multiscale modeling to hepatitis B therapeutics, COVID-19 antiviral strategies, and viral architecture evolution. These studies demonstrate how mathematical abstractions directly inform antiviral design and reveal fundamental principles of viral self-assembly.
As a researcher on the EPSRC-funded "Mathematical Virology" project (2013-2016), he contributed to foundational work linking viral geometry with evolutionary dynamics. Teaching includes core modules in Mathematical Programming, Nonlinearity, and Uncertainty for both undergraduate and postgraduate students.
