I think that sounds like chemical engineering or materials engineering! Engineering uses maths and applies it to different problems. Chemical/Materials engineering take parts of chemistry/physics to understand how different materials/systems/reactions behave, and then links that with the maths parts!
You could also try these quizzes to see if there are other careers which sound interesting!

Ooh, careers that blend maths, chemistry, and physics? SO MANY awesome options!
Here are some epic paths that’ll let you play with all three, whilst being “Hardcore Maths-Heavy Careers”:
• Computational Chemistry
• Materials Science Engineer
• Quantum Computing Researcher
• Theoretical Physicist
• Chemical Engineering
• Climate Modelling Scientist…What these jobs actually look like:
• Using complex mathematical models to predict molecular behaviour
• Designing new materials at the atomic level
• Creating simulations of chemical reactions
• Developing algorithms that solve real-world scientific problems
• Analyzing massive datasets to understand complex systemsThese careers are basically like being a scientific detective, where maths is your magnifying glass and chemistry/physics are the crime scene! 🕵️♀️
I.e. you’re not just crunching numbers – you’re solving actual global challenges. Think developing better batteries, understanding climate change, or creating new medical treatments.My advice? Stay curious, learn to code, and don’t be afraid of complex equations.

Like Charlotte and Sophie have said- it sounds like engineering would be a good fit!

Physics! 😉 Some areas of theoretical physics overlap very much with maths. But even in experimental physics we heavily rely on maths skills. There is now also a new area emerging: data science! This uses mathematical models on real world information to make decisions. That happens in physics, medicine, but also on trains (estimate when do trains need to be serviced based on sensors on the train) and even when you shop for cloth (which clothing will best suit you based on what you have worn jn the past)!

There’s lots of careers that use that combination of subject qualifications. I’m a professor of chemical physics and use all of them in my work. But that work doesn’t only include looking a fundamental processes in space! I look at more practical processes like what happens when you heat a wooden barrel to add flavour compounds to whisky or how does the temperate and pressure in hydraulic equipment degrade the fluids used to run that equipment.
If you enjoy the three subjects together then perhaps chemistry is a good degree subject to do unless you choose a specialist chemical physics degree.
