Professor Samir Siksek is awarded the Shephard Prize for numerous seductively simple and concrete diophantine results whose proofs involve a virtuoso display of the most advanced mathematical ideas.

Dr Clarice Poon is awarded a Whitehead Prize for her pioneering work at the intersection of optimisation, imaging sciences, and machine learning. She has made groundbreaking contributions to the design and analysis of large-scale optimisation schemes aimed at solving ill-posed inverse problems and advancing supervised machine learning techniques. Poon has provided in-depth mathematical analysis of the super-resolution capabilities of these approaches, showcasing an impressive breadth that covers imaging problems, compressed sensing, neural network training, and optimal transport.

Congratulations to both!
