Ian Dangerfield Lectures
The Ian Dangerfield lecture is the Hamilton Institute's annual public talk. The talk typically focuses on applications of mathematics and numerate sciences in different areas and is given by an invited speaker each year.
The talk is named after Ian Dangerfield, who was a student at the institute from 2006-2010. Ian passed away suddenly in 2010 and with the support of Ian's family, the institute has run the talks in Ian's memory.
