About the scholarship

Through the generosity of Dr Wesley Phoa and Margaret Morgan, two New Foundations PhD Scholarships have been established at the School of Mathematics and Statistics. These scholarships will enable two students, co-supervised by Dr Thomas Forster and Professor Noam Greenberg, to make new discoveries, advance our mathematical understanding, and expand our knowledge of Quine's New Foundations, capitalising upon recent breakthroughs in the field that the donors helped make possible.
