The Deakin Women in Maths 2023 day is now open for registration. The focus in 2023 is on women mathematicians working in multidisciplinary domains. It is being organised by Prof Maia Angelova with the current program, details and registration link available here: Deakin Women in Mathematics Day
On 6th and 8th March 2023 the maths lab hosted a joint workshop on Fuzzy Measures and Aggregation with Michel Grabisch from University of Paris, Panthéon-Sorbonne. M. Grabisch is one of the pioneers in fuzzy measure theory, having developed several seminal results over the last 25 years, publishing groundbreaking papers and key books on the […]
Members of the mathematics teaching team (Kerri Morgan (now at RMIT), Julien Ugon and Simon James) along with Laura Tubino and Andrew Cain have received an AAUT citation for their work on developing mathematics learning experiences and assessment. Some news about the award from the university (and other Deakin winners) is available [here], as well […]
In 2021, the maths team started the Deakin Mathematics Yearbook, which showcases outstanding work by undergraduate students. Some of these articles summarise the work completed as part of summer research projects, while others involved students being invited to adapt work they completed as part of their mathematics subjects. All articles are written for a general […]
Julien Ugon, Kerri Morgan and Simon James, along with colleagues Laura Tubino and Andrew Cain, have received Deakin’s 2021 Jim and Alison Leslie Award for Outstanding Achievement in Teaching and Learning. This Award recognises the “Lifelong Learning through Mathematics” team for their outstanding contribution to building students’ lifelong learning skills through the design and implementation of holistic learning experiences that foster self-efficacy, evaluative judgement, and personal […]
Kerri Morgan has been invited by Joan Sutherland to appear on her Tales of Teaching Online podcast. You can listen to it here: In Episode 36, Joan Sutherland speaks to Dr Kerri Morgan from Deakin’s School of Informational Technology about developing an inclusive introductory maths unit to help students connect with, and overcome anxiety about, […]
Every year some of our undergraduate students produce outstanding work that exceeds expectations, by participating in summer research projects and/or as part of their coursework. In an effort to celebrate and promote their achievements, the maths team from the School of IT has organised the Deakin Excellence in Undergraduate Mathematics Program, which consists of two […]

Vicky and Rasul have recently won a Bronze medal in IEEE CEC/GECCO 2021 Competition on “Evolutionary Computation in the Energy Domain: Smart Grid Applications”. The competition has two independent tracks, each tackling an optimisation problem in the energy domain. Participants of the competition could use different evolutionary algorithms for each track (if they participate in […]
