Zubin Siganporia is a British-Indian professor in the Mathematical Institute at the University of Oxford. He is known for his work in industrial modelling and mathematics education.

Education
Siganporia was educated at St Olave's Grammar School, where he was awarded the most colours since the school was founded in 1571. He went on to read mathematics at St Catherine's College in the University of Oxford, where he graduated at the top of his year, winning a number of awards, including the overall Oxford Junior Mathematical Prize and Michael Atiyah Prize.

Career
Siganporia began teaching both pure and applied mathematics at Oxford in 2011. In 2015, he won the Mathematics Institute teaching award. The following year, Siganporia was awarded the overall Oxford teaching prize across Mathematical, Physical, Life and Engineering sciences, becoming the first mathematician to do so, and, at the age of 26, the youngest recipient of the award. Siganporia founded QED Analytics in 2011 in order to provide quantitative models, mainly through custom-built software, across a variety of industries. These have included computational and synthetic biology applications in medicine, Olympic sport, computer-based financial trading and Government Science. He has provided evidence supporting the wider use of anticoagulant levels to help guide clinicians in managing patients, and has shown how statistical and modelling can help the Environment Agency improve probabilistic flood forecasting.

Siganporia has sat on a number of boards, including SETL’s cryptography committee with Nigel Smart and Antoine Joux, and Jeff Tarrant’s AI and data science board for MOV37, together with fellow mathematician Raphael Douady and blackjack expert Rob Reitzen. In 2018, alongside Martha Lane Fox, he gave a keynote speech at the O'Reilly Strata EU Data Conference, the largest data conference series in the world.
