The Science Engineering & Technology (SET) Student of the Year awards recognise the achievements of science and technology undergraduates, who are studying in a variety of disciplines.  They are supported by industry and leading scientific and technical institutions.

Each year, the London Mathematical Society, in partnership with the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications, provides judges to assess entries for the mathematics category of the SET Student of the Year Awards.

The winners of the 2010 awards were announced on 4 September at a ceremony in London.  The award for the Best Mathematics Student went to Natalie Keating of Strathclyde for: How do Droplets Evaporate?
