Congratulations to Professor Alison Etheridge (Mathematical Institute and Department of Statistics) and Professor Marta Kwiatkowska (Department of Computer Science, and Associate Head for Finance in the MPLS Divisional Office) who have been elected as International Honorary Members of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
Associate Professor Patrick Rebeschini, in the Department of Statistics, has been awarded a European Research Council (ERC) Consolidator Grant worth \u20ac2 million, to develop theoretical foundations that could advance machine learning methods used to analyse Big Data.
A new study led by researchers at the Department of Computer Science has found that, between 2021 and 2022, COVID-19 was a leading cause of death in children and young people in the United States, ranking eighth overall.
DeepMind, the leading British artificial intelligence company, has renewed its commitment to supporting students at the University of Oxford following the success of its scholarship programme for under-represented groups in AI.
Professor David Deutsch has today been named as one of four internationally pioneering physicists to receive the 2023 Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics for his work on quantum information, while Professor James Maynard has received one of six New Horizons in Mathematics Prizes.
Professors Niki Trigoni and David Hills are among 72 leading figures in engineering and technology to be elected as Fellows of The Royal Academy of Engineering this week.
Researchers in the Department of Computer Science, working with colleagues from Bogazici University in Turkey, have developed a novel artificial intelligence (AI) system that enables autonomous vehicles to achieve safer and more reliable navigation, especially in adverse weather.
Oxford's computer scientists contributed to an international study published this week, which estimates that more than 10.5 million children experienced the death of a parent or caregiver as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, by 1 May 2022.
The partnership aims to increase the number of women from low- and middle-income countries who take up offers to study Master's programmes in MPLS departments, with the first Optiver Foundation Scholars joining in October 2023.
Eleven MPLS researchers have been recognised in this year\u2019s MPLS Impact Awards, which showcase research impact across the division and help us to identify examples of impact excellence that will help us to prepare the ground for future Research Excellence Framework (REF) submissions and similar exercises.
The innovative technique, developed in the Department of Materials, uses multiple polarisation channels to carry out parallel processing \u2013 enhancing computing density by several orders over conventional electronic chips.
Four early-career researchers have been recognised by Forbes' 2022 list, which is intended to illustrate the power that young entrepreneurs and leaders have to transform business and society.
Six institutions, including the University of Oxford, are leading efforts to deliver computational systems that will enable the world\u2019s largest radio telescope
Researchers Richard Baker and Sebastian K\u00f6hler (with Ivan Martinovic) from the Department of Computer Science at the University of Oxford, and Martin Strohmeier of armasuisse Science + Technology, have discovered a cyber attack that allows individual vehicles to be disrupted in a stealthy way, or even entire fleets to be denied charging en masse.
The programme will establish a cross-disciplinary community of researchers in quantum computing and computer science, who will collaborate to address the global challenge of delivering quantum computing that is robust, reliable, and trustworthy.
The University\u2019s flagship UNIQ+ graduate access programme for students from disadvantaged and underrepresented backgrounds will expand further in 2022 thanks to a generous donation from leading British artificial intelligence company DeepMind.
Governments and social media platforms should not rely on content removal for combatting harmful scientific misinformation online, according to a report today from the Royal Society, the UK\u2019s national academy of science. Professor Sir Nigel Shadbolt, Oxford Professor of Computing Science, was on the working group for the report.
