About the Hayden-Howard Lecture Series

The Hayden-Howard lecture was inaugurated in the spring of 2001 by a generous contribution from a friend of the Department of Mathematics. The lecture series was established in honor of mathematics professors Thomas Hayden and Henry Howard. Each year, the lecture series brings a research mathematician of international stature to the University of Kentucky.

2024-25, Felix Otto, Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences, Leipzig, Germany
