Gavaghan completed his undergraduate degree in Mathematics at Durham University in 1986.[6] This was followed by a Master of Science in Numerical Analysis and Mathematical Modelling in 1987 and his Doctor of Philosophy on the development of Parallel Numerical Algorithms in 1991 at Linacre College at the University of Oxford.[7]

Research and career

Gavaghan's research is interdisciplinary and involves the application of mathematical and computational techniques to problems in the biomedical sciences.[7] Gavaghan serves on the advisory board chair for the Software Sustainability Institute (SSI).[8]

gollark: Well, I *am* using a significant amount of the processing power of your monitor's internal processors to simulate bee neurons.
gollark: Because it still uses the list monad, which does unfathomable things.
gollark: No, it means it is... in a monad, somehow?
gollark: ```haskellimport Data.Listpermutations [1,2,3,4]```allegedly.
gollark: It can do this, yes.
