Keith Moffatt FRS is Emeritus Professor of Mathematical Physics at the University of Cambridge. He has served as Head of the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, and as Director of the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences in Cambridge. A former editor of the Journal of Fluid Mechanics, he has published papers in fluid dynamics and magnetohydrodynamics, and was a pioneer in the development of topological fluid dynamics. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society, a member of Academia Europæa, and a Foreign Member of the Academies of France, Italy, the Netherlands and USA. He has been awarded numerous prizes, most recently the 2018 Fluid Dynamics Prize of the American Physical Society.
