Vicky Neale is a British mathematician and writer. She is Whitehead Lecturer at Oxford's Mathematical Institute and Supernumerary Fellow at Balliol College.[1][2] Her research specialty is number theory. The author of the 2017 book Closing the Gap: The Quest to Understand Prime Numbers,[3][4] she has been interviewed on several BBC radio programs as a mathematics expert.[5][6] In addition, she has written for The Conversation and The Guardian.[7][8] Her other educational and outreach activities include lecturing at the PROMYS Europe high-school program[9] and helping to organize the European Girls' Mathematical Olympiad.[10]

Neale obtained her PhD in 2011 from the University of Cambridge. Her thesis work, supervised by Ben Joseph Green, concerned Waring's problem.[1][11] She then taught at Cambridge while being Director of Studies in mathematics at Murray Edwards College,[10][12] before moving to Oxford in the summer of 2014.[13]
