Oscar Randal-Williams FRS is a British mathematician and professor at the University of Cambridge,[1] working in topology.
Randal-Williams 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.
[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] In 2017 Randal-Williams received[6] a Whitehead 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.
