Kevin Buzzard is a Professor of Pure Mathematics at the Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Natural Sciences, Imperial College London. His work focuses on formal proof verification and the integration of computers into mathematical research. He leads projects formalizing mathematical theorems using Lean, including a 21st-century proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem. Notable talks include the 2024 Stanford MRC Public Lecture on AI in mathematics and the 2022 International Congress of Mathematicians plenary lecture on formalism trends.
His research spans Pure Mathematics and Computation Theory, emphasizing collaboration between mathematicians and computer scientists. He co-maintains Mathlib, a formalized mathematical library, and teaches Lean to undergraduates. Awards include the Whitehead Prize (2023) and Senior Berwick Prize (2023) from the London Mathematical Society.
Buzzard’s career includes research positions at the University of Cambridge, Harvard, and the Institute for Advanced Study. He explores how AI and theorem provers will transform mathematical practice, advocating for formalization as a foundational tool for future mathematics.
