The winners of the 2013 SET Awards were announced at a ceremony in Kensington Town Hall attended by students, academics and business leaders. A record numbers of entries were received for the 2013 awards.
The Award for the Best Mathematics Student, judged by the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications and the London Mathematical Society, went to William Perry, University of Oxford, for his work on spin two-dimensional local field theories. According to the judges the entries for this year’s mathematics category were of an extremely high standard.
Professor Alice Rogers, Education Secretary of the London Mathematical Society, and one of the judging panel was particularly impressed with Perry’s creativity and technical ability. ‘He was able to express some complex ideas very well to non-specialist mathematicians and there is no doubt that he was an outstanding candidate with great potential’.
