We carry out research of world class excellence spanning topics in Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics (at DPMMS), and Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics (at DAMTP).
Our innovative education programmes and outreach events support teachers and school students worldwide, and share the excitement of the subject with the public.
A quantum leap: mapping DNA diversity with quantum computing
A collaboration led by DAMTP's Dr Sergii Strelchuk has been awarded up to $3.5 million in funding to explore the potential of quantum computing in one of the most exciting new areas in biomedical science.
Swarming cicadas, stock traders, and the wisdom of the crowd
New DAMTP research shows that the springtime emergence of vast swarms of cicadas can be explained by a mathematical model of collective decision-making with similarities to models describing stock market crashes.
Oscar Randal-Williams takes up the Sadleirian Professorship of Pure Mathematics
Congratulations to Oscar Randal-Williams, who has been elected to the prestigious Sadleirian Professorship of Pure Mathematics in the Department of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics.
Training AI models to answer 'what if?' questions could improve medical treatments
An international team, including researchers in DAMTP, has found that a comparatively new area of machine learning could make medical treatments safer, more efficient, and more personalised.
Contagious Maths: bringing mathematical research into the classroom
New resources launched by Professor Julia Gog and the Faculty's outreach project link mathematical research to the school curriculum, to highlight the role of maths in tackling real-world problems.
