The Mathematics Research Hub is a small group of specialists in mathematics and physics, rooting their exploration of these topics in spirituality for the glory of God and the flourishing of the Church and the world. We are committed Christian academics with expertise in mathematics and physics — or a related field — who are eager to engage in cutting-edge research with an emphasis on creatively exploring foundational problems in physics and mathematics. The study of the interface between mathematics and theology will also be strongly encouraged and pursued.
The KLC Mathematics Research Hub aims to be a leading European research unit that will facilitate high impact research in mathematics and physics. We want to create the space and be a resource for the members to establish themselves as world class researchers.
Chairperson: Dr Mikael Normann
Committee:
The members will become fellows/associate fellows of the Kirby Laing Centre and are encouraged to take part in the wider discussion going on at the Centre. Many sessions and reading groups are available for formation both spiritually and professionally. As a fellow of KLC one will enjoy interaction with world class academics in various disciplines, and spiritually formative discussions and relationships. Its location in close proximity to both the University of Cambridge and Tyndale House gives opportunity for visibility, collaborations and networking among the world’s top researchers and academics.
Various books and articles will be used as a foundation for the discussions with the aim to establish a joint research program. Each member should also develop and pursue his own research and feed back into the group through presentations, ideas and general input. It is, however, acceptable if some members of the group choose to focus on the plenum project rather than individual projects if other commitments prevent research time.
KLC provides an avenue to host lecture series and receive external input from esteemed scholars around the world on topics of interest. Presenting research at conferences and Universities will be encouraged and facilitated. The submission of external funding proposals will be a major objective once the group has produced some outcome.
In order to keep the research objectives of the group focused we will limit the group size to approximately 10 members.
Academics with expertise in one or more of the following subjects are especially encouraged to apply: cosmology, astrophysics, mathematical relativity, topology, differential geometry, category theory and logic.
Interested applicants should send CV, cover letter and a short research summary to mikael.normann@usn.no.
