Dr Stephen Kirkup
Stephen is a researcher, mainly in the area of numerical methods; their implementation in software, their application in engineering and science and their analysis. He has a particular interest in the boundary element method (BEM), its application in acoustics (Helmholtz equation) and to the fundamental Laplace equation. Stephen has also published papers on inverse diffusion (backward heat conduction problem) and on the finite-difference time-domain method (FDTD) in electromagnetics.
Stephen is a lecturer in mathematics in engineering. Stephen leads in in mathematics education, particularly with respect to the use of computer technology in teaching and learning in mathematics. Stephen is a module leader for engineering in society, a final year MEng or MSc module, considering the impact of engineering on society and society on engineering.
Stephen is a researcher in numerical methods in engineering, particularly with the boundary element method (BEM), particularly in acoustics. With experience working on the application of the BEM in loudspeaker design and engine noise analysis, Stephen also worked on electromagnetic simulation, with application to capacitors and inverse problems, with application to material mixing.
