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.
Vishal Gupta studied Mathematics as an undergraduate at Cambridge and has just completed Part III. He tells us about what most appeals to him about maths, his experience as one of the inaugural cohort of Martingale Scholars, and why he hopes to inspire others to apply to Cambridge too.
