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

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

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]

gollark: Ugh, somebody spammed SPUDNET-IR with Siri reports.
gollark: Anyway, presumably the remover tool downloaded an omnidisk onto it for some reason but didn't add a UUID or license or something. It should be logged to SPUDNET-IR actually.
gollark: The `not a directory` issue is caused by, probably, it deleting the potatOS user data folder. If that's missing, potatOS will recreate it with a mode-γ update.
gollark: * wrong
gollark: Ah, it must be loading an omnidisk but doing it worng.
