Kerry Walker & Christoph
Reisinger Fellow in Physiology &
Medicine and Fellow in Mathematics
We are pleased to announce the marriage of
two of our St Catherine’s Fellows, Kerry Walker
(Fellow by Special Election in Physiology &
Medicine) and Christoph Reisinger (Tutorial
Fellow in Mathematics). Kerry and Christoph
were introduced in January 2009 by the Master,
Roger Ainsworth, in the Senior Common Room.
It didn’t take many college events to ignite a
spark.
The couple exchanged vows in Brasenose
College Chapel on 30 September 2012. The
wedding party then set off on an Isis riverboat
cruise, followed by dinner and dancing at
the Isis Farmhouse. Several St Catherine’s
colleagues and friends played key roles in the
festivities. Senior Tutor and Tutor in English, Bart
van Es, read Shakespeare’s Sonnet 116 (‘Love is
not love, which alters when it alteration finds’),
while Tutorial Fellow in Physics, Andrew Bunker,
was Usher, and former Philosophy Fellow
Timothy Bayne served as Best Man.
& Genetics. This research involves decoding
neurons’ action potential responses to complex
sounds in order to understand how the brain
represents perceptual features such as pitch
and timbre.
Christoph is a Tutorial Fellow in Mathematics
and a University Lecturer at the Mathematical
Institute. In his research, he develops and
analyses computational algorithms for models
arising in financial markets. The mathematical
tools involved range from asymptotic
expansions and dimension reduction
techniques to the multilevel approximation
of high-dimensional partial equations. n
Kerry is our Director of Studies for Biomedical
Sciences and an Early Career Research Fellow
at the Department of Physiology, Anatomy
