An urgent call has gone out to the scientific modelling community to help fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. Two Cambridge mathematicians are helping to lead the charge.
Julia Gog, Professor of Mathematical Biology at DAMTP, is currently helping to lead efforts to fight the COVID-19 pandemic. She tells us more about the mathematical models that deliver the predictions and the questions scientists are grappling with.
Particle physics and quantum computing meet in an important new effort by young researchers at the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics.
Cambridge Perspectives: The Cambridge Mathematics Placements Programme
James Bridgwater and Tim Hennock explain how the Cambridge Mathematics Placements Programme enables students to find out what the mathematics they are learning can be used for, and to learn vital transferable skills.
Mathematics teaching at Cambridge is world-class, but what does the Faculty do to help students find their feet in the world of industry? It enables them to experience it first-hand through the Cambridge Mathematics Placements programme.
Colm-cille Caulfield is the new Head of the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics (DAMTP). In this video he tells us about his research, the strengths of DAMTP, and the Department's vision for building on them.

Amelia Drew, PhD candidate in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, talks about dark matter, being the only scientist in the family, and what it's like doing a PhD.
Cambridge Perspectives: Spencer Becker-Kahn and minimal surfaces
Spencer Becker-Kahn is looking for for some of the most elusive objects in mathematics: minimal surfaces. In this video he explains what they are and why he likes them.
Over the last 250 years mathematical objects called minimal surfaces have been playing hide and seek with geometers. Spencer Becker-Kahn is one mathematician who has joined the quest to find them
