(2016, DPhil Industrially Focused Mathematical Modelling) has been awarded the Early Career Mathematicians Catherine聽Richards Prize by the IMA for his article on 鈥淓xploring Steiner Chains with M枚bius Transformations鈥�, which was published in Mathematics Today听尘补驳补锄颈苍别.
He has previously won another IMA prize: the ECM Catherine Richards Prize for a winning article, published in Mathematics Today: 鈥淐onnecting the dots with Pick鈥檚 Theorem鈥�. In November 2017, he was also a prize-winner in the TakeAim Competition run by the Smith Institute.
Kristian鈥檚 DPhil research is on 鈥淢odelling Removal of Sulphur Dioxide from Flue Gas鈥�. He is modelling the operation of a purification device that converts gaseous chemicals into liquid that slowly fills up the device. His goal is to develop a microscopic model (on the level of individual pores in the device) and a macroscopic model that will predict global properties of the device such as its efficiency. More information can be found on the Mathematical Institute .
Kristian studied MMath at ChristChurch before moving to Univ to do his DPhil on the聽Oxford-Radcliffe Scholarship. He has also taught Fluids and Waves (Part A course) at Univ.
