Research Interests
Neville has research interests in the learning and teaching of mathematical modelling in engineering, software engineering and the life sciences, and has been responsible for organizing several conferences in the area.
Teaching And Professional Interests
Neville teaches electrical engineering, mathematical modelling and mathematical methods to Part I undergraduates. He edits research papers in engineering, mathematics and physics. Currently, he is writing book on mathematical modelling for the life sciences (with Dr Cerian Webb, NewnhamCollege), for Garland Press.
