专家简介：Andrew Hone is a Professor of Mathematics, holding the Established Chair in Applied Mathematics at the University of Kent. He studied in Oxford and Edinburgh, and did postdoctoral research in Rome and Adelaide, before starting as a Lecturer at Kent in 2000. The rest of his career has been spent in Kent, apart from a sabbatical in Sydney as a Visiting Professorial Fellow at the University of New South Wales (2017-19). Although a large part of his work has focussed on integrable systems. he has very broad research interests, ranging from mathematical biology to computer science, and his most recent projects concern connections between mathematical physics and contemporary problems in algebra and number theory. He is passionate about inspiring the next generation of mathematicians, and does outreach with the general public and local schools, encouraging them to be co-creators of new mathematical research.
