Scholar-generated biography
Peter Duck is a Professor of Applied Mathematics at the University of Manchester, specializing in Fluid Mechanics and Financial Mathematics. His research explores the dynamics of fluid flows, including laminar separation bubbles, three-dimensional instabilities, and the stability of compressible flows. In Financial Mathematics, he focuses on option valuation, stochastic wind speed modeling, and the application of quadrature methods to complex financial instruments. His work also addresses the interaction between unsteady free-stream disturbances and surface geometry, as well as the effects of freestream pressure gradients on boundary layers. Duck's research bridges theoretical and applied aspects of fluid dynamics and financial modeling.
