College alumni win Cambridge University Pilkington Prizes

Congratulations to two former students of St Catharine's, Dr Nik Cunniffe (1993) and Professor Jim Woodhouse (1969), who have this year been awarded Cambridge University Pilkington Prizes for excellence in teaching. Both read Mathematics at St Catharine's, but since then their research interests have diverged: Dr Cunniffe now teaches at the Department of Plant Sciences, and Professor Woodhouse at the Department of Engineering and the School of Technology.

More information about this year's prizewinners is available on the University website.

St Catharine's prides itself on the quality of its teaching, and our sucess is reflected in the fact that a number of St Catharine's Fellows have previously been awarded Pilkington Prizes:

• Dr Sriya Iyer (2014)
• Dr Abigail Brundin (2013)
• Former Fellow Dr Lucy Delap (2011)
• Dr Richard Harrison and Dr Mark Elliott (2010)
