University of Birmingham School of Mathematics academics win prize for outstanding paper

University of Birmingham academics in the School of Mathematics have been awarded the 2021 Fulkerson Prize by the American Mathematical Society (AMS) and the Mathematical Optimization Society (MOS). Three Fulkerson prizes, each worth $1500, are awarded every three years for outstanding papers in the area of discrete mathematics.

Proof of the 1-factorization and Hamilton Decomposition Conjectures was published in the Memoirs of the AMS in 2016, and authored by Béla Csaba, Daniela Kühn, Allan Lo, Deryk Osthus and Andrew Treglown. Read full article >>

'Universal law of touch' will enable new advances in Virtual Reality

Seismic waves, commonly associated with earthquakes, have been used by scientists to develop a universal scaling law for the sense of touch. A team, led by researchers at the University of Birmingham, used Rayleigh waves to create the first scaling law for touch sensitivity. The results are published in Science Advances. The researchers are part of a European consortium (H-Reality) that are already using the theory to develop new Virtual Reality technologies that incorporate the sense of touch.
