Sir David Wallace lecture series

In 2014 the Department of Mathematical Sciences launched a new series of annual lectures to invite prestigious mathematicians to Loughborough University to give a talk on the pioneering research. The lecture is named after the Vice-Chancellor of Loughborough University, 1994-2006.

The Sir David Wallace lectures will continue to be hosted by Loughborough University and the talks are aimed at a wide audience, including PhD students and Maths undergraduates.
