Welcome. I am the Professor of Mathematical Modelling at the University of Oxford and a member of the Mathematical Institute. I am the director of the Oxford Centre for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (OCIAM), the director of the International Brain and Mechanics Lab (IBMATL, with Antoine Jérusalem), a fellow of St Catherine’s College (Catz), and a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS).
As the new Professor of Geometry at Gresham College, London, starting in Autumn 2024 I will be giving a public lecture series on “Mathematics and the Brain.” The series will explore the human brain as an organ of extreme complexity and a source of endless mathematical challenges.
At the Mathematical Institute, I was the first director of External Relations and Public Engagement until 2022 and created the public lecture series.
Scientists have charted how toxic proteins might creep through the brain and destroy its cells in conditions such as Alzheimer’s.
