International Mathematics Olympiads

• I was appointed Senior Coordinator at the International Mathematics Olympiad (IMO) 2024. In 2024, the UK hosted the 65th edition of the International Mathematics Olympiad (IMO) see https://www.imo2024.uk . The IMO is the largest and most prestigious of all of the international Olympiads. Initiated by Romania in 1959, the IMO has grown from the original seven countries to over a hundred to-date. The United Kingdom has participated since 1967 and has played host to the competition on three previous occasions (in 1979, 2002 and 2019). I was appointed Senior Coordinator also at IMO1999, IMO2002, and IMO2019.

July 2017

International Workshop on BSDEs, SPDEs and their Applications, Edinburgh 3-7 July 2017. The symposium continues a tradition which has its origin in 1996 in France and was organized in the UK for the first time. The symposium was held three times in Le Mans, France (1996, 1999 and 2008). Shandong University and Fudan University, China, were the hosts in 2002, 2014(Weihai) and 2005 (Shanghai). The 6th symposium was held in Los Angeles in 2011. This was a major conference with over 200 participants http://www.ed.ac.uk/maths/bsde-spde-2017

July 2017

LMS-EPSRC Durham Symposium on Stochastic Analysis, 10-20 July 2017 (over 90 participants). The meeting brought together over 90 participants working in the area (further details at http://www.maths.dur.ac.uk/lms/106/index.html ) The LMS-EPSRC Durham Research Symposia began in 1974, and form an established series of international research meetings, with over 100 symposia to date. They provide an excellent opportunity to explore an area of research in depth, to learn of new developments, and to instigate links between different branches.
