The research section of the School of Computing and Mathematical Sciences comprises of over 30 academic and 60 research staff in the newly refurbished Queen Mary Court in the heart of Maritime Greenwich. Members of the school regularly organise and give talks in conferences in areas such as Forest Biometry, Fluid Mechanics and Computational Aeroacoustics. Research work undertaken in the School covers many areas including Fire Safety Engineering, Parallel Processing, Artificial Intelligence, Computational Modelling and Public Services.

Our research record is outstanding, focusing on practical and important real-life problems: our Fire Safety Engineering Group won the Queen's Anniversary prize in 2002 and the top award at the British Computer Society (BCS) IT Awards in 2001 for its EXODUS software: its work combines sophisticated mathematical modelling with advanced software engineering.

An independent measure of the school's prominence in research is demonstrated by the most recent national Research Assessment Exercise (RAE). This activity assesses the quality of research undertaken in each academic department within British Universities. The RAE rated the School's research as a 4.
