The Faculty Thesis and Post Doctoral Prize winners have been announced. Each of our 10 departments picked outstanding research contributions from their PhD and Post Doctoral communities to be awarded these prizes. Congratulations to all our Faculty Prize winners for 2026!

We are delighted to celebrate the 20 accepted papers at the 40th Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS), involving colleagues and students from the Department of Computer Science (DCS) at the University of Warwick, together with their collaborators. NeurIPS is the leading international venue for AI and machine learning research and will be held on 6-12th December, 2026 in Sydney, Australia along with two satellite locations at Paris, France and Atlanta, United States of America.

Professor Giuseppe Cannizzaro has won the Rollo Davidson Prize for 2026, in recognition of his great advances in our understanding of scaling-critical two-dimensional stochastic systems.

The Rollo Davidson Prize commemorates Rollo Davidson (1944-1970). Since 1976, it has been awarded annually to young probabilists. The announcement post can be found at: https://www.statslab.cam.ac.uk/rollo-davidson-prize.

In September, the department was delighted to welcome The Blackett Lab Family (BLF) to Warwick as hosts of their annual Amplify Symposium, bringing together Black and mixed-Black undergraduate physicists from across the UK.

A Warwick-led publication entitled "Coordination-cage-templated multivalent glycan arrays: effects of mixed-glycan composition and chain length on lectin binding" has been chosen as ChemSci Pick of the Week.

Dr Xuming Zhang and his team have found that a sensor in our nerve endings that detects warm temperatures also plays a direct role in switching on chronic pain signals, a discovery that could lead to better treatments for conditions that affect millions of people.

From July to September, Warwick Manufacturing Group (WMG) at the University of Warwick welcomed senior representatives from government, industry and higher education institutions worldwide.

The visits showcased WMG’s role in connecting research, industry, and policy, while strengthening international partnerships.

A number of researchers from WMI have been awarded Faculty Prizes.

WestTech London and the West Midlands have joined forces to strengthen links between two leading regional innovation ecosystems. Convened by Imperial College London and the University of Warwick, the new Scale-up Pathway will help turn research into innovation, grow businesses and strengthen the UK’s global competitiveness.

The retrofit of the Psychology Building within the University of Warwick campus marks a significant milestone in the broader development of the campus, while simultaneously supporting the continued growth and success of the Department of Psychology.

This transformative project will enhance the university’s infrastructure by providing state-of-the-art teaching spaces, collaborative areas, and the opportunity to showcase key lab spaces to the public.

These upgraded facilities will not only accommodate a variety of teaching methods but also foster an environment that encourages innovation and interdisciplinary collaboration, ensuring the department remains one of the UK's leading research hubs.
