Recently, two Oxford Mathematics postdoctoral research associates Johannes Borgqvist and Sam Palmer published an article entitled “Occam's razor gets a new edge: the use of symmetries in model selection” in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface.
Congratulations to Vicky who will take up the position in 2024. Vicky is the Whitehead Lecturer at the Mathematical Institute and Balliol College and also a Supernumerary Fellow at Balliol College.
Alongside her teaching, Vicky's role is to discuss mathematics with a broader audience via public lectures, talks and workshops in schools as well as mathematical summer schools for teenagers, notably PROMYS Europe for which she is Executive Director.

Constructing CFTs
Abstract
Since Segal's formulation of axioms for 2d CFTs in the 80s, it has remained a major problem to construct examples of CFTs that satisfy the axioms.
I will report on ongoing joint work with James Tener in that direction.
