Congratulations to Alain who has been awarded the 2025 LMS/IMA David Crighton Medal. The award recognises his deep and influential mathematical insights into mechanical and biological processes and materials, his support of early career mathematicians, and his contributions to the public understanding of mathematics and its applications.

This is a four-year, postdoctoral research fellowship from the Royal Society that aims to support the retention in STEM of researchers from underrepresented backgrounds. Fellowships will provide funding to conduct high-quality research and a comprehensive programme of mentoring, training and networking opportunities to support award holders in establishing a successful research career in the UK.

Congratulations to Stéphanie.

Carles wins the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) prize for his paper, “A local continuum model of cell-cell adhesion” co-authored with Ruth Baker and José Carrillo.

James has won a MPLS Divisional teaching award for his "dedication to teaching within your department in general...and impressive outreach activities for the Mathematical Institute, specifically your work on both the MAT livestream and the Oxford Online Maths Club".

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.
