Kevin Buzzard is a professor of Pure Mathematics at Imperial College London. His primary research interests lie in algebraic number theory and formal proof verification. He is currently working towards the goal of integrating computers more effectively in the process of mathematical proof creation. Buzzard believes that, in a lifetime, computers will assist human mathematicians in creating proofs, and he is actively involved in accelerating this process. His contributions include maintaining Mathlib, a formalized database of modern mathematical theorems and definitions, and teaching undergraduates to use Lean, a software tool for interacting with this database. Buzzard is also leading a project to formalize the proof of Fermat's Theorem in the 21st century. He has been a speaker at several prestigious lectures, including the Stanford MRC Public Lecture 2024 under the theme of AI in mathematics and the plenary lecture at the 2022 International Congress of Mathematics.
