Dr Mark Jones

About

I was educated at University College London where I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics. I then moved to the University of Bath where I wrote my doctoral thesis entitled 'The Bifurcation and Secondary Bifurcation of Capillary-Gravity waves in the presence of symmetry' under the supervision of Professor JF Toland FRS. I then moved to the Queens University of Belfast and subsequently joined Kingston in 2000.

Research

My research is mostly concerned with  the mathematical study of water waves. My early research work was quite pure mathematical in nature, consisting of a study of the waves which may bifurcate from the line of trivial solutions when the solution space of the underlying linearized model equation is two dimensional.  I have returned to aspect of this problem throughout my career, generalising it to  interfacial waves.

The other strand of my research involves a study of the stability of these waves. I have employed the method of multiple scales to show how they may be modelled by a pair of coupled nonlinear partial differential equations  for the wave amplitudes. These equations can then be used to determine the stability properties of the waves.
