Atulya K. Nagar holds the Foundation Chair as Professor of Mathematical Sciences and is Dean of the Faculty of Science at Liverpool Hope University, UK; he has been the Head of Department of Mathematics and Computer Science which he established at the University. Professor Nagar is an internationally respected scholar working at the cutting edge of theoretical computer science, applied mathematical analysis, operations research, and systems engineering. He received a prestigious Commonwealth Fellowship for pursuing his doctorate (DPhil) in Applied Non-Linear Mathematics, which he earned from the University of York (UK) in 1996; and he holds BSc (Hons.), MSc, and MPhil (with Distinction) in Mathematical Physics from the MDS University of Ajmer, India. Professor Nagar’s research expertise spans both Applied Mathematics and Computational Methods for nonlinear, complex and intractable problems arising in Science, Engineering, and Industry. In problems like these the effect is known, but the cause is not. In this approach of mathematics, also known as ‘Inverse Problems’, sophisticated mathematical modelling and computational algorithms are required to understand such behaviour.
