Marina Anagnostopoulou-Merkouri, a third-year student in the School of Maths, has been awarded the London Mathematical Society Cecil King Travel Scholarship for 2026.
This prestigious award provides funding for a UK-based early career mathematician to spend a period of study abroad. Marina will use the scholarship to visit Rutgers University in New Jersey, USA, where she will work with Professor Pham Huu Tiep, who is one of the world’s leading experts in group theory and representation theory. Many congratulations to Marina!
This is only the second time a Bristol PhD student has been awarded the Cecil King Scholarship since its inception in 2001. Marina follows Dr Scott Harper (now an Assistant Professor at the University of Birmingham), who was awarded the scholarship in 2017. Both Scott and Marina were supervised by Professor Tim Burness.
