Internships Expressions of Interest: seeking a partner for an Industrial Mathematics Internship
Internship projects currently seeking a partner are in the areas of:
  • analysis of insurance market data - from Lloyd's
  • train positioning system for use in the next generation of railway signalling systems - from Reliable Data Systems International
  • modelling of insurance products - from Heriot-Watt University
  • modelling pricing cycles in the property and casualty insurance industry - from ACE Limited
  • developing numerical and statistical algorithms - from NAG Ltd
If you are interested in partnering one of these projects, please contact Dr Claudia Centazzo.
