Seven new lecturers will be joining the department in October.
Ruth Baker (St Hugh's)
Ruth has just completed her D.Phil. at the Centre
for Mathematical Biology, on the modelling of pattern formation in
embryos. She takes up her full duties in 2010: until then, she will be
supported in part by a Lloyd's Tercentenary Fellowship and in part by an
RCUK Academic Fellowship.
Victor Flynn (New College)
Victor is currently a Professor in the
Department of Mathematical Sciences at Liverpool. His interests are in
number theory of higher genus curves and their Jacobians.
Anne Henke (Pembroke)
Anne is currently a Lecturer in Pure Mathematics at
Leicester. Her interests are in representation theory and Schur algebras.
Mike Monoyios (LMH)
Mike is a Senior Lecturer in Mathematical Finance at
Brunel, currently on leave at Imperial. He is interested in optimal
hedging strategies in the presence of risk and stochastic volatility
modelling.
Alex Scott (Merton)
Alex is currently a Reader at UCL. His interests
are in the broad area of Combinatorics, and its connections with computer
science, probability theory and statistical physics.
Balazs Szendroi (St Peter's)
Balazs currently holds a Marie Curie
Fellowship at Utrecht University. He is interested in algebraic geometry
and its connections with physics, particularly with mirror symmetry in
string theory.
Pierre Tarres (St Hugh's, initially joint with St Catherine's)
Pierre is
currently a tenured CNRS Research Fellow at the Statistics and Probability
Laboratory, Toulouse. He is interested in reinforced random walks and
stochastic approximation.
