We are delighted that three mathematicians have been awarded Thesis PrizesLink opens in a new window for outstanding doctoral theses in the Faculty of Science, Engineering and Medicine:

Dr Solly ColesLink opens in a new window for the thesis: 'On the distribution of periodic orbits and linking numbers for hyperbolic flowsLink opens in a new window'.

Dr Thomas Holt for the thesis: 'Solving the Kodaira-Spencer problem using harmonic analysis on torus bundles over S^1Link opens in a new window'.

Dr Alice HodsonLink opens in a new window for the thesis: 'Virtual element methods for fourth-order problems: implementation and analysis'.

We congratulate them for their outstanding work.

This year’s Weldon Prize has been awarded to the SPI-M-O group (including members of the Warwick Zeeman InstituteLink opens in a new window) in recognition for their work during the COVID-19 pandemic. The awards committee said "Under great pressure to deliver results quickly, and under immense public scrutiny, SPI-M-O both built on existing science and developed new epidemiological and statistical techniques to understand the spread of the virus and how it might be controlled. The importance of good and timely disease modelling for policymakers has never been as clear."

The Warwick team (including Keeling, Dyson, Tildesley, Thompson, Hill, Davis, Moore, Guzman-Rincon, Leng and others) has made multiple contributions to understanding and predicting the COVID-19 pandemic during 2020-2022, generating results for both SPI-M-O/SAGE and JCVI. This award reflects this joint effort. Congratulations to all involved!
