James has extensive expertise in the areas of mathematical modelling and data analysis
As co-director of MACSI, Professor Gleeson is responsible for many industry-facing projects involving mathematical modelling and data analysis. Projects undertaken with industry include:
• Vistakon (Outcome: Increased efficiency and improved design of production lines)
• Boston Scientific (Outcome: Stent manufacturing process improved through modelling)
• Multiple Companies (Outcome: Quantitative criterion for the end of primary drying based on non-invasive measurements made in the freeze drier. Optimization of the lyophilisation process)
• Analog Devices (Outcome: Experimentation cost reduced through mathematical modelling of process)
• Rusal Alumina (Outcome: 200% increase in the accuracy of prediction of product quality. Model now employed on a daily basis.
• Stochastic Dynamics
• Contagion on complex networks
