<p>
Seven new lecturers will be joining the department in October.
</p>
<h2>Ruth Baker (St Hugh's)</h2>
<p>
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.

<h2>Victor Flynn (New College)</h2>
<p>
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.
</p>
<h2>Anne Henke (Pembroke)</h2>
<p>
Anne is currently a Lecturer in Pure Mathematics at
Leicester. Her interests are in representation theory and Schur algebras.
</p>
<h2>Mike Monoyios (LMH)</h2>
<p>
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.
</p>
<h2>Alex Scott (Merton)</h2>
<p>
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.
</p>
<h2>Balazs Szendroi (St Peter's)</h2>
<p>
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.
</p>
<h2>Pierre Tarres (St Hugh's, initially joint with St Catherine's)</h2>
<p>
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.
