I actually know a guy with a masters degree in math who did a lot of work with fractional derivatives. I don't know how he used them, but if I'm remembering correctly his research was on finding the right place to install a shunt into the heads of hydrocephalic babies - as the fluid is drained, the cavity changes size, so finding the optimal place is tricky. Apparently fractional derivatives help, although I have no idea how.
