Winner of the 2021 Mahony Neumann Room Prize
The Australian Mathematical Society (AustMS) has awarded the 2021 Prize to Serena Dipierro, Luca Lombardini, Pietro Miraglio and Enrico Valdinoci for the paper The Phillip Island Penguin Parade (A Mathematical Treatment), ANZIAM Journal.
Citation: An enjoyable paper to read, considering an interesting and new study of the movement of penguins as they return to their nests in the evening on Phillip Island. It is a very nice example of applied mathematics. The real situation is observed, equations are derived and investigated. Outcomes are compared with monitored penguin behaviour. Existence results are proven. The simplicity is compelling and it provides a nice understanding of a real process, with a rigorous underpinning.
The winning paper, as well as all shortlisted papers, will be available to read for free through 2022.
