La London Mathematical Society (LMS) va nomenar Eva Miranda, catedràtica de geometria i topologia de la Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya i membre del CRM, com a Hardy Lecturer de la societat per aquest any 2023, per la seva condició d'”investigadora matemàtica de gran reputació” que alhora “pot adreçar-se a un ampli públic matemàtic”. Com a part d’aquest guardó, la professora Miranda iniciarà aquest mes de maig un cicle de conferències a diversos departaments de matemàtiques a universitats del Regne Unit que durarà fins al setembre.
Per a Eva Miranda, “el Hardy Tour és alhora un honor sense precedents i un gran repte per mi. Requereix una preparació molt meticulosa en un moment on ja tenia diversos compromisos assolits a congressos i són 9 xerrades diferents. Això ha fet que el Tour tingui lloc en tres etapes.”
Aquesta gira inclou l’anomenada Hardy Lecture, que tindrà lloc a la reunió anual de la LMS el pròxim 30 de juny a la Mary Ward House de Londres i anirà precedida per una conferència a càrrec de Sir Roger Penrose, guanyador del Premi Nobel de Física el 2020 pels seus estudis sobre cosmologia. “Amb en Sir Roger Penrose ens hem trobat un parell de vegades per zoom per coordinar les nostres xerrades i hem parlat més de dues hores sobre matemàtiques, computabilitat i física quàntica i hem discutit diverses demostracions detallades. És un moment àlgid per mi tant a nivell professional com personal.”
La Hardy lecture s’inscriu en un congrés d’un dia que conclourà amb una exhibició d’art From it to to Bit: Psychedelic fluids inspirada per la interacció de teoria de Fluids i Computació”.
En total seran nou conferències les impartides per Eva Miranda, algunes de les quals es podran seguir en línia a través de Zoom, amb intervencions a universitats tan prestigioses com Oxford i Cambridge i la participació en el congrés de la Universitat d’Edimburg sobre Geometria Simplèctica.
La LMS Hardy Lectureship porta el nom de G.H. Hardy, expresident de la Societat i guanyador de la medalla De Morgan, per distingir a matemàtics de fora del Regne Unit. Eva Miranda és la primera matemàtica espanyola en rebre aquesta distinció.
