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.
Searching for the nature of dark matter
In March 2026 researchers including Professor Ben Allanach and Professor Anthony Challinor from the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics were joined by an audience of Cambridge alumni for a live webinar discussing the latest research into dark matter.
Chaired by Professor Anthony Challinor (DAMTP and Kavli Institute for Cosmology), this webinar brought together three Cambridge researchers on the front line of dark matter research.
Speakers included Ben Allanach, Professor of Theoretical Physics in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics (DAMTP) ; Professor Hiranya Peiris from the Institute of Astronomy and Kavli Institute for Cosmology; and Dr Harry Cliff from the Cavendish Laboratory, Department of Physics.
