This is the research page of Kathryn Gillow (née Harriman). I am currently a departmental lecturer in the Numerical Analysis Group at Oxford University. I spend half of my time doing research and the remainder of my time is spent as the course organiser for the M.Sc. in Mathematical Modelling and Scientific Computing. From October 2001 to September 2005 I was a Postdoctoral Research Assistant, again in the Numerical Analysis Group. My research was concerned with adaptive finite element methods for problems in electrochemistry. During the year 2000/2001 I was a departmental lecturer in the Computing Laboratory. I finished my D.Phil. in Numerical Analysis in 2000. I have been in Oxford since 1993 when I started my undergraduate degree at St. Anne's College. I finished this in 1996 then stayed to do an M.Sc. in Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis (now the M.Sc. in Mathematical Modelling and Scientific Computing). I moved to Wadham College in 1998 and I had a lectureship there until September 2000.
My Research Interests
My research is concerned with the adaptive finite element simulation of electrochemical problems. Our interest in studying electrochemistry is mainly due to its role in the development of sensors. The main aim of my research is to produce a general method for simulating processes at electrochemical sensors. The method should be capable of incorporating
- any electrochemical control technique
- any electrode geometry
- any reaction process
This research is supervised by Professor David Gavaghan and Professor Endre Süli. Here are more details about the research.
Publications
Here is a list of my publications including papers published in refereed journals, Numerical Analysis Group Technical Reports and some talks.
