Matthew Wales is a PhD student at the Department of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics. Here he tells us about the joys of pure mathematics, how it feels to produce your very own mathematical result, and the importance of coffee in the world of maths.
Mathematical paradox demonstrates the limits of AI
A new study by researchers in DAMTP suggests instability is the Achilles’ heel of modern AI, and that a century-old mathematical paradox shows the gap researchers now need to bridge.
Revolutionary machine learning techniques are being developed by researchers from the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics (DAMTP) to support forest conservation in India.
Professor Jerome Neufeld has developed a new model of the formation of the Moon's crust that finally explains the diversity and range of ages of rocks from the lunar surface.
Kasia Warburton is a PhD student in the Theoretical Geophysics research group at DAMTP. Here she tells us about her work on glaciers, the joys of collaboration, and the excitement of moments when things click into place.
UK schools have received more than 300,000 CO2 monitors as part of a government initiative supported by researchers from DAMTP to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
Jack Thorne, Professor of Number Theory at the Department of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics, has been awarded a prestigious 2022 New Horizons in Mathematics Prize.
Shifting sands: protecting environments from dune migration
A new model describing interactions between sand dunes and obstacles, developed by researchers in DAMTP, could help protect infrastructure and delicate ecosystems from damage.
