Darren Crowdy, Professor of Applied Mathematics from the Department of Mathematics at Imperial College London has been awarded the ‘2009 CMFT Young Researcher Award’ at the Computational Methods and Function Theory (CMFT) conference 2009.
Professor Crowdy’s conformal mapping research hit the headlines last year when he updated the 140 year old Schwarz-Christoffel formula so it could be used for more complicated shapes and, therefore, in more diverse applications in physics and engineering.

The CIEM (International Center for Mathematical Meetings, in Spanish) is a joint initiative of the University of Cantabria and the Municipality of Castro Urdiales whose fundamental and fundational goal is to promote quality mathematical research, be it in its more basic or its more applied and computational aspects, with special emphasis to multidisciplinar ventures. It is based in the cantabrian town of Castro Urdiales, of indisputable touristic value and conveniently placed in the A8 motorway, 35 km from Bilbao airport and 60 km from Santander.
