Congratulations to our 7 researchers announced today who have been elected to the @royalsociety.org 2026 Fellowship! 🎉
Meet the Cambridge Fellows, recognised for their exceptional contributions to their respective fields 👉 https://bit.ly/4ugUXMZ
Professor Anuj Dawar FRS is elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. He is a theoretical computer scientist who has developed fundamental new methods, rooted in mathematical logic, for the study of computational complexity. #RSFellows https://royalsociety.org/people/anuj-dawar-36313/
The afternoon session on day 2 started with an introduction to symmetric circuits and lower bound techniques for these by Anuj Dawar. The symmetric model is one of the rare models that distinguishes the non-identical twins Det and Perm.
Very happy to be hosting a talk today by Jacob Urisman in our Algorithms and Complexity seminar:

Really saddened to hear of the passing of Paul Hewett. He was a kind and gentle man. He'll be much missed.

I missed the final session as I had to head back home. But WACT was absolutely brilliant. I thoroughly enjoyed it and learned so much. Thank you for running it!
5-year postdoctoral research fellowship in theoretical Computer Science (also 4 other research fields), a nice opportunity! Needs PhD to be awarded between 1/Aug/24 and 1/Oct/27. Please share with whoever may be suitable!
