Research at Warwick
This page lists permanent Warwick staff and Zeeman Lecturers, by roughly indicative research areas. Many staff are listed under more than one heading. (Some people have expanded on their expertise in a bracketed list following their name, but these lists only refer to the person immediately preceding the brackets.)
The department also hosts, or plays a significant part in, a number of research centres, which are listed at the bottom of the page.
