Good News

Patrick Farrell and Dawid Kielak have been announced as speakers at the 2026 International Congress of Mathematicians in Philadelphia (where the Fields Medals are handed out).

Chris Holmes and Juliet Rousseau from Stats are also speaking.

Three Oxford Mathematicians have won London Mathematical Society (LMS) Prizes for 2025. Nigel Hitchin has won the De Morgan Medal, Helen Byrne the Naylor Prize and Lectureship in Applied Mathematics and Vidit Nanda receives a Whitehead Prize. 

Georgina won the prize for her poster on 'Mathematical modelling of ion charge asymmetry in electrolytic cells'.

The prize is among the most prestigious in literary fiction, so it's good to see mathematics represented.

Kate has been awarded a second prize in the IMA Leslie Fox Prize in Numerical Analysis for her research paper and presentation of the paper. She was one of six finalists out of a large number of submissions. 

A first prize was awarded to James Foster who was previously a PhD student and postdoc here in Oxford Mathematics.
