Rebecca Hoyle
Rebecca Bryony Hoyle is a professor of applied mathematics at the University of Southampton, and associate dean for research at Southampton.[1] She was the London Mathematical Society Mary Cartwright Lecturer for 2017.[2]
Research
[edit]Hoyle describes herself as an interdisciplinary mathematician working on dynamical processes in biology and social science.[3] Her 2017 LMS Mary Cartwright Lecture, entitled Transgenerational plasticity and environmental change,[2] illustrates her work in evolutionary biology but her research is broader than that, touching on diverse topics in applied mathematics including dynamic network analysis and industrial ecology.[1]
She is the author of the book Pattern Formation: An Introduction to Methods (Cambridge University Press, 2006).[4]
Education and career
[edit]Hoyle read mathematics at the University of Cambridge, where she earned a bachelor's degree in 1989, took the Mathematical Tripos in 1990, and completed her Ph.D. in 1994.[1] Her dissertation, Instabilities of Three Dimensional Patterns, was supervised by Michael Proctor.[5]
After postdoctoral study at Northwestern University she returned to Cambridge as a research and teaching fellow, but after a brief stint at McKinsey & Company she moved to the University of Surrey in 2000. She moved again to Southampton in 2016.[1]
Awards
[edit]Hoyle won the inaugural Hedy Lamarr Prize in 2021, awarded by the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications for knowledge exchange in mathematics and its applications. Hoyle is a founding member of the Virtual Forum for Knowledge Exchange in Mathematical Sciences (V-KEMS) and was awarded the prize primarily for her role in setting up V-KEMS and for promoting effective knowledge exchange during the COVID-19 pandemic.[6]
