Dr Thomas Madsen

Head of Subject in Computing – Data Science
School of Computing and Engineering

Before joining the University of West London, Dr Madsen was a Lecturer at University of Buckingham. Before that he held academic positions at a number of international institutions, including at Aarhus University (Denmark), Centro di Ricerca Matematica Ennio De Giorgi (Pisa) and King’s College London.

Most of Dr Madsen’s research and publications are in the area of differential geometry. He particularly enjoys analysing and finding explicit solutions to partial differential equations that arise in a geometric context (e.g. Einstein’s equations), using symmetry techniques.
