Professor James Fergusson wins 2025 Pilkington Prize
Congratulations to Professor James Fergusson who has won a 2025 Pilkington Prize. It is the third consecutive year in which the Prizes have recognised outstanding teaching in the Faculty.
Faculty researchers are working to equip artificial intelligence with human knowledge of physics to create powerful AI tools for a range of applications, from weather forecasting to engineering. Their efforts contribute to a body of work on AI that makes the Faculty a global leader in the field.
Senior Government minister visits Cambridge to explore the potential of AI
The Rt Hon Pat McFadden MP met researchers including DAMTP’s Professor Carola-Bibiane Schönlieb to discuss ways in which AI can transform public services and healthcare.
Cambridge Perspectives: AI - accelerating research
In November 2024 DAMTP's Dr Miles Cranmer and Dr James Fergusson were joined by an audience of Cambridge alumni to explore some of the ways in which AI is advancing science, and the real-world implications.
In this podcast Hannah Fry talks about her own work, what she is looking forward to about joining Cambridge, and her hopes for the future of mathematics communication.
Hannah Fry announced as Professor of the Public Understanding of Mathematics

Thinking inside the box: new insights on a particle physics enigma
An enigmatic particle has defied explanation since its discovery two decades ago. But new work by by researchers in the High Energy Physics group in DAMTP and colleagues may shed light on the mystery.
Counting on connections: Julian Sahasrabudhe wins Whitehead Prize
Dr Julian Sahasrabudhe (DPMMS) has won a Whitehead Prize recognising his outstanding contributions to Ramsey theory, and his work on complex analysis, random matrix theory, and sphere packings.
Physicists like nothing better than discovering new phenomena that conflict with current theories. Researchers from DAMTP have delivered a new approach to doing just that — which may also help to solve one of cosmology's great mysteries.
Cambridge Changemakers: Professor Emily Shuckburgh
Mathematics alumna Professor Emily Shuckburgh OBE is Director of Cambridge Zero and Academic Director of the Institute of Computing for Climate Science (ICCS), based in DAMTP. Profiled for the University's Cambridge Changemakers series, she talks about her work and inspiration.
