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.
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.
A collaboration between mathematicians at the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics (DAMTP) and clinicians and researchers from around the world is developing an AI tool to help with diagnosing COVID-19 and making prognoses for infected patients.
As the world gradually emerges from lockdown, fluid dynamicists at the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics (DAMTP) are investigating how to keep safe as we move about our daily lives.
The Soft Matter Research Group at the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics (DAMTP) has put aside its usual work to fight COVID-19 and help the UK find a way out of the lockdown.
Using machine learning to help hospitals manage capacity
A recent partnership between a research group at the Department for Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics (DAMTP) and the NHS aims to help hospitals manage capacity during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Winton Centre for Risk and Evidence Communication, based at DPMMS, has been investigating a crucial aspect of the crisis: people's perception of the risk the disease poses and their attitudes to governments' responses.
