Christopher John Budd OBE (born 15 February 1960) is a British mathematician known especially for his contribution to non-linear differential equations and their applications in industry.
from Oxford University, studying numerical methods for nonlinear elliptic partial differential equations under the supervision of John Norbury.
He was appointed the Professor of Geometry at Gresham College in 2016, where he delivered a series of public lectures on Mathematics and the Making of the Modern World.
His recent work has been in geometric integration which aims to develop numerical methods which reproduce qualitative structures in differential equations.
He was awarded the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the Queen's Birthday Honours List in 2015 for services to science and maths education.
