Prizes for the Best Presentations

Thanks to the generosity of the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications, two prizes will be awarded to presenters at TMT 2023.

The IMA Prize for the best presentation at TMT 2023 was awarded to Maria Esteban Casadevall, Heriot-Watt University, for her talk An introduction to machine learning in the Hyperbolic space.

Also shortlisted were:

Joseph Duthie, Durham University, The watchman's walk on dynamic graphs

Eleanor Kneip, Imperial College London, The Duality Problem

Oscar Lewis, Durham University, Toric surfaces in F-theory

Paartha Soni, London School of Economics, Cards and Combinatorics

Fred Tyrrell, University of Oxford, New Lower Bounds for Cap Sets

The IMA Popular Vote Prize was awarded to Veronica Bitonti, University College London, for her talk Intellectual Challenges: Algorithms and Undecidable Problems in Group Theory.  This prize was decided by a poll amongst all delegates at the end of the conference.

14 January 2023: The deadline for applications to be considered for the IMA Prize for the best presentation has now passed.  Applicants will be informed in due course of the panel's decision and the shortlist will be announced in February.

If you wish your paper to be considered for the IMA Prize for the Best Presentation you must submit an abstract in the usual way, and also provide a separate statement of no more than 400 words saying why you have chosen the topic and why the talk will be of interest to an audience of mathematics undergraduates at TMT. If you have worked on the topic as part of your university studies, or if the work is collaborative, please mention that (these are positive factors but are not a requirement for entering your talk for the prize). The criteria will include the understanding you demonstrate of your chosen topic, and the quality of preparation and delivery of your presentation.  Your application should be sent to us at tmt@gre.ac.uk by 1pm on Friday 13 January 2023 (which is also the deadline for abstract submission).  The shortlist will be announced in February.
