Dr Jacob Page (faculty)
I am a Reader (=Associate Professor) in Applied and Computational Mathematics at the University of Edinburgh. Previously, I was the Sultan Qaboos Research Fellow and a College Lecturer in Mathematics at Corpus Christi College, University of Cambridge, following a postdoc working with Professor Rich Kerswell (Mathematics, Bristol and then DAMTP, Cambridge). Before that I was an EPSRC Doctoral Prize Fellow at Imperial College London, where I also did my PhD with Professor Tamer Zaki (Johns Hopkins).
Our work is supported by a UKRI Frontier Research Guarantee Grant (an ERC Starting Grant), by EPSRC and the Met Office.

We will soon be advertising for three postdocs, two in AI for turbulence and one in viscoelastic fluid dynamics. If you are a strong computational scientist and these roles are of interest then please email jacob.page@ed.ac.uk with a CV and a brief summary of your background. Please do not send an AI-generated email.
If you are interested in working with our group as an independently funded research fellow then please send a CV and statement of research interests to jacob.page@ed.ac.uk to discuss funding opportunities.
