Professor Peter Haynes made a Fellow of the Royal Society

Professor Peter Haynes (1976), Queens' Fellow and Professor of Applied Mathematics at the Department of Applied Mathematics & Theoretical Physics, has been made a Fellow of the Royal Society.

Fellowships of the Royal Society are given to eminent academics in recognition of outstanding contributions to science. Professor Haynes is one of fifty academics honoured this year, of which another two are also Professors at the University of Cambridge.

Professor Haynes joins a long list of more than eighty Queens' members and Fellows who have been elected as Fellows of the Royal Society, stretching back to the seventeenth century.

Venki Ramakrishnan, President of the Royal Society, said:  “Over the course of the Royal Society’s vast history, it is our Fellowship that has remained a constant thread and the substance from which our purpose has been realised: to use science for the benefit of humanity. 
 
“This year’s newly elected Fellows and Foreign Members of the Royal Society embody this, being drawn from diverse fields of enquiry—epidemiology, geometry, climatology—at once disparate, but also aligned in their pursuit and contributions of knowledge about the world in which we live, and it is with great honour that I welcome them as Fellows of the Royal Society.”
