Career and research
Following her PhD, Etheridge held research fellowships in Oxford and Cambridge and positions at the University of California, Berkeley, The University of Edinburgh, and Queen Mary University of London before returning to Oxford in 1997.[2]
Over the course of her career, her interests have ranged from abstract mathematical problems to concrete applications as reflected in her four books which range from a research monograph on mathematical objects called superprocesses to an exploration (co-authored with Mark H. A. Davis) of the percolation of ideas from the groundbreaking thesis of Louis Bachelier in 1900 to modern mathematical finance.[2]
Much of her recent research is concerned with mathematical models of population genetics, where she has been particularly involved in efforts to understand the effects of spatial structure of populations on their patterns of genetic variation.[2]
Etheridge has made significant contributions in the theory and applications of probability and in the links between them.
She is head of the University of Oxford's Department of Statistics, in a three-year post that runs until August 2022.[15] She chairs the Mathematical Sciences sub-panel of the 2021 Research Excellence Framework.[16]
Awards and honours
Etheridge was elected a
for outstanding research on measure-valued stochastic processes and applications to population biology; and for international leadership and impressive service to the profession.[17]
In 2017, she was elected as president of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics for a one-year term.
She is a Trustee of the Royal Society and a member of its governing council.[23] In September 2021 she became the chair of the Council for the Mathematical Sciences.[24] She was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2023.[25]
In 2023, she was elected to the National Academy of Sciences.[26]
