We carry out research of world class excellence spanning topics in Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics (at DPMMS), and Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics (at DAMTP).
Our innovative education programmes and outreach events support teachers and school students worldwide, and share the excitement of the subject with the public.
Ioannis Kontoyiannis, the Faculty's new Churchill Professor of Mathematics, tells us about a favourite topic amongst his far-ranging interests: the theory of information and its applications.
David Spiegelhalter won the Prize for communicating key concepts from statistics and probability theory to the public, most recently through the COVID-19 pandemic. In this article he tells us about his work.
Henry Wilton has won a Whitehead Prize for "his remarkable contributions to geometric and combinatorial group theory". In this article we venture to the interface of geomety and algebra to find out what this means.
Holly Krieger has won a Whitehead Prize for her "deep contributions to arithmetic dynamics". In this article we explore what her work is about and how it is linked to the famous Mandelbrot set.
Maria Bruna has won a Whitehead Prize for her "outstanding research in asymptotic homogenisation". We explore what this research entails, and find out how it has helped the company Dyson build better vacuum cleaners.
