Congratulations to Professor Hannah Fry, who has been awarded the Leelavati Prize for outstanding contributions to increasing the public awareness of mathematics.
In this podcast episode we talk to Julian Sahasrabudhe, Professor of Combinatorics in DPMMS, about Ramsey theory, sphere packing and his advice for making progress on hard problems.
Combining AI and physics to sharpen measurements of dark matter
A new hybrid analysis technique enables researchers to extract significantly more information from galaxy surveys, delivering the most precise weak-lensing-only measurements yet of the Universe’s dark matter distribution.
Congratulations to Professor Dhruv Ranganathan, who has won a 2026 Pilkington Prize. The Pilkington Prizes recognise outstanding contributions to undergraduate and postgraduate teaching.
Last year saw unusual hurricane activity over the Atlantic. Charles Powell from the Institute of Computing for Climate Science (ICCS) has been figuring out the underlying factors, to improve the forecasts that help keep people and property safe.
Student snapshots: International Women in Mathematics Day
To celebrate International Women in Mathematics Day in May 2026, undergraduate students shared what they love about the Cambridge mathematics community, and the advice they'd give their younger selves.
Supporting African excellence: AIMS and the African Olympiad Academy
In December 2025 Zoe Wyatt, Assistant Professor in DPMMS, taught at the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS) in Kigali, Rwanda. The exchange further deepened the longstanding relationship between the Faculty of Mathematics and AIMS.
