The second Sydney Workshop on Mathematics of Data Science will be held at the University of Sydney on 10–⁠12 December 2025. For information about the event, see the Sydney-MDS 2025 web page.

Congratulations to Anne Thomas, Pengyi Yang and Tiangang Cui who have been awarded 4-year Future Fellowships in the latest round. Anne has been awarded $1,175,732 for her project "Connection via reflections: A new approach to Coxeter groups", Pengyi has been awarded $1,280,036 for his project "Interpretable deep learning for cell programming", and TC has been awarded $1,107,368 for his project "Dimension-robust and dynamical uncertainty quantification for digital twins".

The London Mathematical Society has elected Professor Nalini Joshi to Honorary Membership of the Society. The citation reads in part, "Professor Joshi is a world-leading mathematician whose pioneering work has transformed the field of integrable systems." The full citation appears here.

The recent QS subject rankings places the University of Sydney first in Australia in the Mathematics category, and #38 worldwide: QS World University Ranking.

The Australian Mathematical Society Medal is awarded to a member of the Society within 15 years of the award of their PhD for distinguished research in the mathematical sciences. More information, and a video of Jiakun explaining his award-winning work, appears here.

The Gavin Brown best paper prize is for "an outstanding and innovative piece of research in the mathematical sciences published by a member or members of the Society." Jiakun received the award for his paper with S. Chen and X. J. Wang titled "Global regularity for the Monge-Ampere equation with natural boundary condition" published in the Annals of Mathematics.

An agreement between the Simons Foundation and the Magma Group makes the Magma computational algebra system widely available in the US. See the School's news page for more information.
