Dr Benjamin Bedert
Subject: Maths
Academic position: Fellow by Examination in Mathematics
Background
I joined Magdalen as a Fellow by Examination in Mathematics in 2026, following a postdoctoral research position at Cambridge with Julian Sahasrabudhe. I completed my DPhil at the University of Oxford in August 2025 under the supervision of Ben Green. Before that, I studied at St John’s College, Oxford, completing my BA and MMath in 2021.
Research
My main research interests lie in additive combinatorics, harmonic analysis and number theory. Much of my work uses Fourier-analytic techniques to investigate problems in number theory and combinatorics, particularly questions about arithmetic patterns in sets of integers.
