Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics

I would say key headlines are:


 * Work includes a lot of fluids stuff with applications to oil & gas - as seen through crossover with the BP Institute
 * They take funding from Schlumberger, BP and Shell as well as arms companies including Rolls Royce and Thales UK
 * Their previous work includes research into oil recovery and fracking (Linden, Paul supervised a PhD on fracking several years ago)

On list of the sponsors of their GK Batchelor lab:

Commercial organisations

 * Astrazeneca
 * BP
 * Building Research Establishment
 * Cambridge Environmental Research Consultants Ltd. (CERC)
 * Ove Arup
 * Schlumberger
 * Shell
 * Yorkshire Water

also

Atomic Weapons Establishment

They have a Schlumberger Professor of Complex Physical Systems

Their origin and distinctiveness comes from their links with fluid dynamics stuff via the GK Batchelor Lab https://www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/research/lab/new/history.php
