Cambridge News: Michael Green has been elected as the 18th Lucasian Professor of Mathematics, an academic chair founded in 1663 and previously held by such luminaries as Sir Isaac Newton, Charles Babbage, and James Lighthill. Stephen Hawking retired from the post earlier this year.
Hawking has been appointed to a new role as director of research in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, and will continue to lead research efforts in cosmology and gravitation.
