Terence John Lyons FRSE FRS FLSW is a British mathematician, specialising in stochastic analysis. Lyons, previously the Wallis Professor of Mathematics, is a fellow of St Anne's College, Oxford and a Faculty Fellow at The Alan Turing Institute. He was the director of the Oxford-Man Institute from 2011 to 2015 and the president of the London Mathematical Society from 2013 to 2015.[4] His mathematical contributions have been to probability, harmonic analysis, the numerical analysis of stochastic differential equations, and quantitative finance. In particular he developed what is now known as the theory of rough paths.[5] Together with Patrick Kidger he proved a universal approximation theorem for neural networks of arbitrary depth.[6]

Education
Lyons obtained his B.A. at Trinity College, Cambridge and his D.Phil at the University of Oxford.
Career
Lyons has held positions at UCLA, Imperial College London, the University of Edinburgh and since 2000 has been Wallis Professor of Mathematics at the University of Oxford.[7] He was the Director of the Oxford-Man Institute at the University of Oxford from 15 June 2011 to 15 December 2015. He also held a number of visiting positions in Europe and North America.
Together with Zhongmin Qian he wrote the monograph System Control and Rough Paths,[8] and together with Michael J. Caruana and Thierry Lévy the book Differential Equations Driven by Rough Paths.[9]
