Hannah Fry biography
Science speaker Hannah Fry is one of the world’s most recognizable mathematicians, a broadcaster and best-selling author who has built a global reputation for making complex ideas feel intuitive and human. She is President of the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications and a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering, credentials that place her among the most respected figures in her field.
Fry spent the early part of her career as Professor in the Mathematics of Cities at University College London, where she studied patterns in human behavior and applied them to real questions: shopping habits, transport networks, urban crime, and the spread of disease. In January 2025 she became the first Professor of the Public Understanding of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge, a newly created chair in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, following public scientists such as Stephen Hawking and David Spiegelhalter.
Her work has earned wide recognition, including the Christopher Zeeman Medal, the Royal Institution Christmas Lectures, and the Royal Society David Attenborough Award for outstanding public engagement with science. Her book Hello World: How to Be Human in the Age of the Machine won the Asimov Prize and was shortlisted for both the Baillie Gifford Prize and the Royal Society Book Prize.
Bringing Mathematics to Global Audiences
Fry has presented a string of acclaimed documentaries and series, including The Future with Hannah Fry on Bloomberg, The Secret Genius of Modern Life and Horizon for the BBC, and The Infinite Explorer for National Geographic. She co-hosts The Rest Is Science, the science title in Goalhanger’s popular podcast network, alongside Vsauce creator Michael Stevens, and she writes regularly for The New Yorker. Her television and radio work has made her a familiar presence to millions, with a style that blends precision, wit, and warmth.
As a speaker, Hannah Fry brings rare clarity to the questions reshaping business and society: how data and algorithms make decisions for us, where automation helps and where it misleads, and what mathematics reveals about human behavior. Senior audiences value her ability to turn frontier research into practical insight, leaving teams better equipped to think critically about data, technology, and the trade-offs of an AI-driven world. Her keynotes are as entertaining as they are substantive, which makes her one of the most sought-after voices in science communication today.

Hannah Fry Keynote Topics
What if you could know the exact day of your death, speak with animals through technology, or erase a painful memory at will? Drawing on years spent reporting from the frontiers of science, Hannah Fry takes audiences inside the breakthroughs that will define the coming decades, from brain-decoding startups and conflict-prevention satellites to the collision of AI and quantum computing. She shares vivid, often surprising stories from her travels and unpacks what these advances mean for the way we live and work.
Numbers are often treated as neutral, yet the way we collect and use data can quietly entrench exclusion and unfairness. With humor and honesty, Hannah Fry examines how bias creeps into the systems that increasingly govern our lives, the real damage it causes, and what it would take to do better. She challenges audiences to rethink what fairness actually means and why deciding who gets counted is one of the defining questions of our time.
In an era of endless information, it is tempting to believe that enough data makes human behavior fully predictable. Sometimes it does. But data can also deceive: even the sharpest minds have seen patterns that were not there or trusted numbers that did not hold. Hannah Fry walks audiences through striking examples of data gone wrong, separates what can be forecast from what cannot, and offers a clear-eyed view of both the power and the boundaries of quantitative thinking.
We like to imagine ourselves as rational decision-makers, yet our judgment is shaped by faulty memories, competing incentives, and hidden bias. Automation promises to remove that human error, but algorithms carry blind spots of their own. So who should we trust when both people and machines are flawed? In this interactive talk, Hannah Fry explores the great ironies of automation and the hard questions organizations face as they decide how much to hand over to the machines.
