As a discipline Mathematics has perhaps never been more important, with spectacular breakthroughs in research accompanying an ever-growing range of new applications affecting almost every aspect of life. We are proud of our alumni and alumnae's wide-ranging contributions to all aspects of society.
As a member of the Cambridge Mathematics family, we look forward to keeping in touch with you through our Mathematics Alumni newsletters and events.
You can also keep up to date with updates and news from the Faculty on Twitter or LinkedIn, and gain insights into some of the latest developments and research here through our Features and News page.
We would be delighted to hear from alumni: please feel welcome to contact us by emailing alumni@maths.cam.ac.uk.
Alumni events
Our online Faculty events for alumni share insights and ideas from the wide range of Cambridge mathematics through informal conversation with the researchers involved. Invitations to future events are sent out in our regular alumni email newsletters, and you can catch up with recordings of previous events here.
Melting Ice and Rising Seas: how Cambridge research is deepening our understanding of climate challenges
In May 2025 Cambridge researchers including Professor John Taylor and Professor Jerome Neufeld from the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics were joined by an audience of Cambridge alumni for a live webinar discussing how their latest ice‑sheet research and modelling are deepening our understanding of the challenges posed by rising sea levels.
Glaciers and ice sheets from Greenland to Antarctica are losing ice faster than ever, adding vast amounts of water to the ocean and accelerating global sea‑level rise. What drives this rapid mass loss, and how do ice sheets melt? Our ability to understand melting ice sheets is an important aspect of predicting future sea levels, and understanding the impacts on UK’s low‑lying coasts and communities worldwide.
Artificial Intelligence: Accelerating Research at the University of Cambridge
In November 2024 Dr Miles Cranmer and Dr James Fergusson from the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics (DAMTP) were joined by fellow Cambridge academics and an audience of Cambridge alumni for a live webinar discussion exploring some of the ways in which AI is advancing science, and the real-world implications.
The discussion focused on recent work by Dr Miles Cranmer, Assistant Professor in Data Intensive Science in DAMTP and the Institute of Astronomy; Dr Emily Lines from the Department of Geography; and Professor Michele Vendruscolo (Centre for Misfolding Diseases, Department of Chemistry).
The webinar was chaired by Dr James Fergusson (DAMTP), Associate Professor in the Centre for Theoretical Cosmology and Director of the Centre for Doctoral Training in Data Intensive Science, the MPhil in Data Intensive Science, and the Cambridge Infosys AI hub.
