Congratulations to Caucher Birkar awarded Royal Society Professorship.
Congratulations to Caucher Birkar . The Royal Society has announced its 2019 list of new fellows. In joint work with Paolo Cascini, Christopher Hacon, and James McKernan, Birkar proved the existence of minimal models for varieties of general type and the finite generation of canonical rings. These results have had a major impact on research in algebraic geometry.
In work on Fano varieties Birkar proved the Borisov-Alexeev-Borisov conjecture. This work also has deep applications to complements theory and linear systems, singularity theory, structure of birational automorphism groups, etc, and is expected to find further important applications especially to the minimal model program

Congratulations to Jake Rasmussen and Jack Thorne on their promotion to the rank of Professor
Dawid elected FRS
Congratulations to Philip Dawid. The Royal Society has announced its 2018 list of new fellows. Philip Dawid, has made fundamental contributions to both the philosophical underpinnings and the practical applications of Statistics. His theory of conditional independence is a keystone of modern statistical theory and methods, and he has has demonstrated its usefulness in a host of applications, including computation in probabilistic expert systems, causal inference, and forensic identification. His co-authored book Probabilistic Networks and Expert Systems won the first DeGroot Prize for a published book in Statistical Science, and he was awarded the Royal Statistical Society's Guy Medal in Silver in 2001.
Birkar wins William Hopkins Prize of the Cambridge Philosophical Society
Congratulations to Caucher Birkar awarded the William Hopkins Prize of the Cambridge Philosophical Society given for research and spectacular results over the last three years, and in particular for work on the proof of the Borisov-Alexeev-Borisov (BAB) conjecture on the boundedness of Fano varieties.
Randal-Williams wins Leverhulme Prize
Congratulations to Oscar Randal-Williams, who has been awarded a Leverhulme Prize for his work in algebraic topology and in particular the study of moduli spaces of manifolds. The prize recognizes the achievements of early career researchers across a broad range of fields.
