    Oscar Randal-Williams FRS is a British mathematician and professor at the University of Cambridge,[1] working in topology.

    Career[edit]

    He studied mathematics at the University of Oxford (MMath 2006, DPhil 2009), where he wrote his doctoral thesis Stable moduli spaces of manifolds under the supervision of Ulrike Tillmann.[2] Since 2012 he has been at the University of Cambridge, since 2017 as reader, since 2020 as professor,[3] and since 2024 as the Sadleirian Professor of Pure Mathematics.[4]

    In joint work with Søren Galatius, he studied moduli spaces of manifolds, leading to a sequence of papers about which his coauthor talked at the ICM 2014.[5]

    Awards and honours[edit]

    In 2017, he received[6]aWhitehead Prize from the London Mathematical Society and a Philip Leverhulme Prize,[7][8] in 2018 he was awarded an ERC Starting Grant,[9] and in 2019 the Dannie Heineman Prize of the Göttingen Academy of Sciences and Humanities and the Oberwolfach Prize. In 2022, he was awarded the Clay Research Award jointly with Søren Galatius,[10] and spoke at the ICM.[11] In 2024 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society.[12]
