Imre Bennett Leader is a British mathematician and Professor of Pure Mathematics, specifically combinatorics, at the University of Cambridge.
Educated at St Paul's School and Trinity College, Cambridge, he was also a member of the United Kingdom team in the International Mathematical Olympiad in 1981, winning a silver medal;[1] he later led the UK team in 1999, 2000 and 2001.
He has been the most consistently successful Othello player in Britain, winning the national championship in 1983, 1986, 1990, 1994, 1999, 2001, 2004, 2005, 2007 and 2010. He was runner-up in the World Othello Championship in 1983, and was part of the UK team that won the World Team Championship in 1988.[2]
His work has concentrated on combinatorial mathematics. He completed his PhD, entitled Discrete Isoperimetric Inequalities and Other Combinatorial Results, in 1989, supervised by Béla Bollobás.[3] He is currently a fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge.
He is the godson of Imre Lakatos.
