Professor Dame Angela McLean
Honorary FellowProfessor Dame Angela McLean DBE FRS is a professor of Mathematical Biology in the Department of Zoology at Oxford University and Director of The Institute for Emerging Infections of Humans.
She was appointed as the Chief Scientific Adviser for the Ministry of Defence and in September 2019 and served as Deputy Chief Scientific Adviser during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Angela’s research interests lie in the use of mathematical models to aid our understanding of the evolution and spread of infectious agents. She is also interested in the use of natural science evidence in formulating public policy and has co-developed the Oxford Martin School Restatements: an activity which restructures and presents the evidence underlying an issue of policy concern or controversy in a short, uncharged, intelligible form for non-technical audiences.
Angela established Mathematical Biology at the Biotechnology and Biological Science Research Council’s Institute for Animal Health in 1994. Before this, Angela was a Royal Society Research Fellow at Oxford University and a Research Fellow at the Institut Pasteur in Paris.
In 2009 Angela was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society. She has been awarded the Gabor Medal in 2011 and the Weldon Memorial Prize in 2018. She received her damehood in the 2018 Queen’s Birthday Honours List.

Hilary Ockendon
Emeritus FellowMy research interests were initially in fluid dynamics but working in industrial mathematics has led me to problems in a wide variety of fields.
The unifying theme of my work is the use of continuum models and the application of asymptotic methods to physical problems in order to provide useful simplifications and illuminate the model and its predictions.
Among problems on which I have worked in fluid mechanics are nonlinear wave propagation in gases including real gas effects and resonant sloshing in gases and liquids. Many industrially relevant problems involve thin layer models of viscous fluids, and similar mathematics can apply in very varied situations. Examples include injection moulding, concentration polarization in ultra filtration, contact lens modelling and the drying of paint. Following my early work in relaxing gases, I have had a continuing interest in two-phase flows and I have developed several fluid-fibre and fibre-fibre interaction models for problems in the textile industry. This last example has proved a fruitful area of research for over ten years and resulted in one MSc and four PhD theses in collaboration with industry.
