Research
Mungo was a member of the Solid Mechanics and Waves research groups at the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics. His PhD supervisors were Professor I. David Abrahams FRSE and Professor Nigel Peake. His research interest was the application of the Wiener–Hopf technique to problems in solid mechanics and acoustics. His PhD was supported by EPSRC and Thales UK through a PhD studentship.
His thesis concentrated on the problems of acoustic scattering off a plane with a step, diffraction by a semi-infinite thick plate, and diffraction by a right-angled wedge using the Wiener–Hopf technique and a novel method developed by David Abrahams and Dr Raphael Assier at the University of Manchester.
