We’re delighted to welcome three brilliant new postdoctoral researchers to the MaThRad team. Pedro Martín Chávez joins us from the University of Extremadura, where he completed his PhD on the asymptotic theory of branching models. His work focuses on stochastic modelling with applications to nuclear

In November, a group of MaThRad post-docs and PhD students from Bath, Cambridge, and Warwick gathered at the National Physical Laboratory for the inaugural MaThRad ECR Research Retreat. This forum was designed not only as an exchange of high-level concepts but, more crucially, as a platform for posi
