Congratulations to:
Monika Kudlinska, for her transformative ideas showing how free-by-cyclic groups are much more badly behaved than fundamental groups of 3–manifolds, while also providing a collection of tools for their study which will have a lasting impact on the field.
Philipp Jettkant, for his versatility, great intuition and technical skill, including the use of sophisticated numerical algorithms, to address novel mean field problems with theoretical developments which will be of much wider interest.
Congratulations to Ruth and Alex who have won the award presented by the Journal of Theoretical Biology for best research paper 2024, in Ruth and Alex's case for 'Parameter identifiability and model selection for sigmoid population growth models'.
Eleonora, a DPhil student in mathematical physics here in Oxford Mathematics, has been awarded the Anders Wall Research Scholarship, given to young researchers with exceptional potential. The Anders Wall Foundation in Sweden awards scholarships across a range of subjects, from science to entrepreneurship to music, to young talent in the fields.

Patrick has been awarded the prize from the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) for his "broad, creative, and groundbreaking contributions to numerical solutions of partial differential equations, and the design and analysis of algorithms and software for scientific computing".
And ex-Oxford Mathematician Mason Porter has been awarded SIAM's George Pólya Prize for Mathematical Exposition.
