Haileybury Lecture - Professor Yang-Hui He

Haileybury was honoured to receive Professor Yang-Hui He for our most recent Haileybury Lecture on Tuesday evening.

Professor He is a lecturer in Mathematics at Merton College Oxford and a Fellow of the London Institute for Mathematical Sciences.

As a mathematical physicist, Professor He has conducted research associated with quantum field theory, string theory, algebraic geometry and number theory. Professor He spoke on the topic of The AI Mathematician demonstrating to pupils how sweeping changes are being made already to the field of mathematics through the advent of Artificial Intelligence. Pupils remarked on Professor He’s passion and ability to captivate his audience, especially given the heady technical heights of the subject matter he presented.

We are exceptionally grateful to Professor He for taking the time to come and meet with our pupils in order to inspire the next generation of budding mathematicians.
