David Tong is a winner of the Adams Prize. He is also a string theorist in the Department of Applied Maths and Theoretical Physics in Cambridge. He has a website filled with interesting notes. We look forward to hearing him talk to Mathsoc, and so should you.

Title: Quantum Geometry

Abstract: I will explain how we can use ideas from quantum mechanics and string theory to give new perspectives on geometry that allow us to go beyond our usual notion of space, topology and size. I'll tell you things that you won't believe: like the fact that it's impossible to tell the difference between a circle that's very very big from a circle that's very very small.
