Mathematics Institute News

Warwick students achieved excellent results at this year’s International Student Team Competition in Mathematics (ISTCiM).

From 16-17 December 2025, we'll be marking the centenary of Sir Christopher Zeeman - who founded the Warwick Mathematics Institute - with a special conference in the building named after him. The event will feature a mixture of research and public lectures to celebrate Sir Christopher's legacy.

There's a new article in Quanta Magazine looking at how a group of mathematicians - including Warwick's Professor Felix Schulze - have broken through a long-standing barrier in the study of “minimizing surfaces.”

Congratulations to Professor James Sprittles, who has been awarded an EPSRC Open Fellowship to lead a new programme on drop collisions and their collective behaviour, spanning scales from nanometres to kilometres.

A team of five Warwick students are celebrating after a fantastic showing at this year's International Mathematics Competition.

Two researchers from Warwick Mathematics Institute have been awarded to the Research Excellence Framework (REF 2029) panels, recognising their expertise and leadership.

Five academics from Warwick Mathematics Institute will be among the list of speakers at the 2026 International Congress of Mathematicians, which is being held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Congratulations to Professor Tom Montenegro-Johnson from Warwick Mathematics Institute, has been appointed as Deputy Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Research (STEM Impact, Knowledge Exchange and Partnerships).

Huge congratulations to Dr Richard Montgomery and Professor Ewelina Zatorska, who were both among the winners of this year's London Mathematical Society Whitehead Prizes. Dr Montgomery won for his outstanding work on the absorption method, and on sublinear expanders, in extremal and probabilistic combinatorics, while Professor Zatorska for her deep and lasting contributions to the mathematical theory of the compressible Navier–Stokes equations and other nonlinear partial differential equations. A full list of winners can be found on the LMS websiteLink opens in a new window.

Congratulations to Professor Tim Austin and Professor Felix Schulze, who have both been awarded ERC Advanced Grants. There were only 9 grants in Mathematics awarded overall, and only 3 in the UK.
