Summary
Ahmer Wadee is Professor of Nonlinear Mechanics in the Structures Section and leads the research group specializing in the field of Nonlinear Structural Stability. His primary research interests involve modelling buckling instabilities in metallic and composite material structures using analytical methods.
In 2014, he was listed as one of the 100 leading UK practising scientists by The Science Council (College News Link and University of Bath Link). He is also co-editor of the book 50 Visions of Mathematics published by Oxford University Press (College News Link).
Ahmer delivered his Professorial Inaugural Lecture on 23 June 2016. He is also the Director of Postgraduate Research in the Department that oversees the running of the PhD programme.
