    The David Crighton Lecture Professor Frank Kelly CBE FRS Thursday 12 May 2016 at 6.15 p.m. followed by a reception at The Royal Society, Carlton House Terrace, London, SW1Y 5AG Registration will open at 5.45 p.m. Mathematics and Financial Markets Abstract: A substantial proportion of mathematics graduates, at both first degree and doctoral level, enter the financial services sector. This is hardly surprising given the importance of the sector to the economy, and the role of mathematical modelling in the valuation of instruments and the assessment of risk. What is striking is that, with some notable exceptions, few mathematicians have been actively engaged in the design of financial markets. This is undoubtedly a serious challenge with parallels from other large-scale complex networks: to design a distributed system, linking self-interested and intelligent agents, so that the outcome is effective and efficient. How would an ideal market operate, to allow liquidity between long-term investors to be provided by short- term traders? In the second part of the talk I outline some preliminary work, joint with Elena Yudovina, on this question. I describe a simplified and analytically tractable model of a limit order book where the dynamics are driven by stochastic fluctuations between supply and demand. The model has a natural interpretation for a highly traded market on short time scales where there is a separation between the time scale of trading, represented in the model, and a longer time scale on which fundamentals change. There has been considerable discussion recently of the effects of competition between multiple high- frequency traders, and of proposals aimed to slow down markets.

  • Mothers in Science
    The aim of this book is to illustrate, graphically, that it is perfectly possible to combine a successful and fulfilling career in research science with motherhood, and that there are no rules about how to do this. On each page you will find a timeline showing on one side, the career path of a research group leader in academic science, and on the other side, important events in her family life. Each contributor has also provided a brief text about their research and about how they have combined their career and family commitments. This project was funded by a Rosalind Franklin Award from the Royal Society 1 Foreword It is well known that women are under-represented in careers in These rules are part of a much wider mythology among scientists of science. In academia, considerable attention has been focused on the both genders at the PhD and post-doctoral stages in their careers. paucity of women at lecturer level, and the even more lamentable The myths bubble up from the combination of two aspects of the state of affairs at more senior levels. The academic career path has academic science environment. First, a quick look at the numbers a long apprenticeship. Typically there is an undergraduate degree, immediately shows that there are far fewer lectureship positions followed by a PhD, then some post-doctoral research contracts and than qualified candidates to fill them. Second, the mentors of early research fellowships, and then finally a more stable lectureship or career researchers are academic scientists who have successfully permanent research leader position, with promotion on up the made the transition to lectureships and beyond.

    LMS-IMA David Crighton Medal – Professor Frank Kelly CBE, FRS. Short Frank Kelly is awarded the David Crighton Medal of the LMS and IMA for services both to mathematics and to the mathematical community. Medium Frank Kelly is awarded the David Crighton Medal of the London Mathematical Society and the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications for services both to mathematics and to the mathematical community. Kelly’s work on the fundamental properties of communication networks has had direct application to the design of telephone networks and internet protocols. The importance and impact of his work more broadly is reflected in the large number of citations his papers receive, together with the award of international prizes. He is the Head of a Cambridge college, and has chaired groups working to improve children’s experience of mathematics. He has been Chief Scientific Advisor to the Government (Department of Transport) and chaired the Council for the Mathematical Sciences at an important time for the mathematics community. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1989 and awarded a CBE in 2013. Long Frank Kelly is awarded the David Crighton Medal of the London Mathematical Society and the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications for services both to mathematics and to the mathematical community. He is a professor at the University of Cambridge and has been Director of the Statistical Laboratory there. He is currently Master of Christ’s College, Cambridge. Kelly has made fundamental contributions to the theory of random processes, networks, control and optimization. One of his main contributions was to show that fairly simple-minded local processes could, when combined in enormous systems, act in such a way as to optimize control and fairness.

  • Biography of Invited Speakers
    Biography of Invited Speakers Alan Ferst Alan Fersht is a group leader at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology. He enjoys combining methods and ideas of molecular and structural biology with those from biophysics and chemistry to study the structure, activity, stability and folding of proteins, and the role of protein misfolding and instability in cancer and disease. His recent previous positions have been Herchel Smith Professor of Organic Chemistry at Cambridge University and Director of the MRC Centre for Protein Engineering. Currently, his major work is using structural and biophysical methods to study how mutation affects proteins in the cell cycle, particularly the tumour suppressor p53, in order to design novel anti‐cancer drugs that function by restoring the activity of mutated proteins. He is solving the structures of p53 and its negative regulator Mdm2, which are paradigms for partly intrinsically disordered proteins, by combining a variety of structural methods. Alan Fersht is a Fellow of the Royal Society, Foreign Associate of the National Academy of Sciences (USA), Honorary Foreign Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, Member of EMBO and Member of Academia Europaea. He has won several international awards, including: the FEBS Anniversary Prize, 1980; Novo Biotechnology Award, 1986; Charmian Medal of the Royal Society of Chemistry, 1986 (for Enzymology); The Gabor Medal of the Royal Society, 1991 (for Molecular Biology); Max Tishler Lecture and Prize, Harvard University, 1992; FEBS Datta Lecture and Medal,
