Dr Jonathan Kobine

Jonathan Kobine graduated from the University of Edinburgh in 1989 with a First Class Honours degree in Physics, and obtained his doctorate from the University of Oxford in 1992 for work on bifurcations and symmetries in enclosed shear flows. This was followed by postdoctoral work at Cambridge and Oxford. In 1996, he was awarded a University Research Fellowship by the Royal Society, holding it initially at the University of Manchester and then from 1998 in the Department of Applied Mathematics & Theoretical Physics at the University of Cambridge. Whilst at Cambridge he was a Fellow of Downing College, and Director of Studies in mathematics. He joined the Division of Civil Engineering at the University of Dundee in 2002.
