Biography

After graduating from Leeds University with a degree in Computational Science and Mathematics Jane worked at UMIST and Nottingham University. She then spent several years at the British Ship Research Association, working on computer aided hull surface design for super-tankers. She took the expertise gained at BSRA to the department of Naval Architecture at Newcastle-u-Tyne University and there she was instrumental in developing a computer system for analysing the motion of large floating bodies such as tankers and wave energy devices. A career break and a move to Wales followed the birth of her son in 1982. Her association with the department of Mathematics at Aberystwyth began in 1986. Her current research interests lie in the application of Computer Algebra to the investigation of nonlinear dynamical systems.
