Mathematics Institute News

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.

Professor John Greenlees from WMI has been appointed as a chair of 'Sub-panel 10: Mathematical Sciences' for REF 2029.

Professor Filip Rindler, a mathematician from The University of Warwick, has been announced as an honouree for the UK Physical Sciences & Engineering Blavatnik Award for Young Scientists.

We're sad to report of the death of Colin Rourke in December 2024.

The Warwick team competed at the International Student Team Competition in Mathematics 2024, Katowice, Poland, winning several medals.
