Comment: The Reader academic rank comparison is the level right below under Distinguished Professor / Chair. In US that would still be full professor, but it isn't the same level as what would count towards NACADEMIC #5. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 14:28, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
- Comment: Lecturer / Reader is not enough to establish academic notability. Please list other criteria Randal-Williams would meet in WP:NACADEMIC AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 18:49, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
I want to remark that the position of reader in the UK is comparable to full professor in the US, see the corresponding Wikipedia Article on this topic. "The title of reader in the United Kingdom [...] denotes an appointment for a senior academic with a distinguished international reputation in research or scholarship. [...] Readers and professors in the UK would correspond to full professors in the US." Oboofyu 13:45, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
Moreover, I want to remark that an article on this person has existed in the German Wikipedia for more than two months now, so to me it seems silly that he should not have one in the English Wikipedia: Randal-Williams is British and based in the UK.Oboofyu 13:53, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
Oscar Randal-Williams is a British mathematician and Reader at the University of Cambridge[1], working in Topology.
He studied mathematics at Oxford (MMath 2006, DPhil 2009), where he wrote his doctoral thesis Stable moduli spaces of manifolds under the supervision of Ulrike Tillmann.[2] Since 2012 he is at the University of Cambridge, since 2017 as Reader.[3]
In joint work with Søren Galatius, he studied moduli spaces of manifolds, leading to a sequence of papers about which his coauthor talked at the ICM 2014.[4]
In 2017, he received[5] a Whitehead Prize from the London Mathematical Society and a Philip Leverhulme Prize [6] [7], and in 2018 he was awarded an ERC Starting Grant.[8] He is one of two managing editors of the Proceedings of the LMS [9], and an editor of the Journal of Topology.
