The Academy for the Mathematical Sciences (AcadMathSci), founded in September 2023, brings together academia, education, business, industry, and government from across the UK to provide an authoritative, persuasive, and influential voice for the whole of the mathematical sciences. The Academy’s new Fellowship will bring together the UK’s ‘hidden problem solvers’, whose breadth of experience and depth of expertise will make the Fellowship much greater than the sum of its parts.
Working across focussed committees, the Fellows will contribute to projects of national importance -such as strengthening maths education in the UK, supporting responsible AI, addressing the UK’s leaky mathematical talent pipeline, and leveraging the mathematical sciences to tackle climate change - for the benefit of the whole UK.
Professor Deirdre Hollingsworth, Professor of Infectious Disease Epidemiology, said: ‘I am honoured to be selected as a Fellow, which is a wonderful testament to the pioneering spirit of my research group, colleagues, and collaborators and our shared commitment to advancing our understanding of the dynamics of infectious diseases. I look forward to working with the Academy to further the impact of mathematics in solving complex global challenges and to support the next generations of mathematicians.’
