Emmanuel Breuillard (born 25 June 1977) is a French mathematician. [1] He was the Sadleirian Professor of Pure Mathematics [2] in the Department of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics (DPMMS) at the University of Cambridge, and is now Professor of Pure Mathematics at the Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford as of January 1, 2022. [3] He had previously been professor at Paris-Sud 11 University.

In 2012, he won an EMS Prize for his contributions to combinatorics and other fields. His area of research has been in group theoretic aspects of geometry, number theory and combinatorics. In 2014 he was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Seoul.

The Mathematical Institute is the mathematics department at the University of Oxford in England. It is one of the nine departments of the university's Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences Division. The institute includes both pure and applied mathematics and is one of the largest mathematics departments in the United Kingdom with about 200 academic staff. It was ranked as the top mathematics department in the UK in the 2021 Research Excellence Framework. Research at the Mathematical Institute covers all branches of mathematical sciences ranging from, for example, algebra, number theory, and geometry to the application of mathematics to a wide range of fields including industry, finance, networks, and the brain. It has more than 850 undergraduates and 550 doctoral or masters students. The institute inhabits a purpose-built building between Somerville College and Green Templeton College on Woodstock Road, next to the Faculty of Philosophy.

The Department of Mathematics at the University of Manchester is one of the largest unified mathematics departments in the United Kingdom, with over 90 academic staff and an undergraduate intake of roughly 400 students per year and approximately 200 postgraduate students in total. The School of Mathematics was formed in 2004 by the merger of the mathematics departments of University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology (UMIST) and the Victoria University of Manchester (VUM). In July 2007 the department moved into a purpose-designed building─the first three floors of the Alan Turing Building─on Upper Brook Street. In a Faculty restructure in 2019 the School of Mathematics reverted to the Department of Mathematics. It is one of five Departments that make up the School of Natural Sciences, which together with the School of Engineering now constitutes the Faculty of Science and Engineering at Manchester.
