On A Tangent: Voices of Mathematics Münster

Welcome to "On A Tangent", where we tell the stories behind the mathematics. In each episode, we meet a different early career mathematician from Mathematics Münster, and learn about their research, their path towards mathematics, and their hopes for the future. We explore the many different shapes that mathematical research can take, the early memories that led people towards the subject, and try to understand a little bit better the voices that make the mathematical community of today.

    Episode 6: Finding Structure in Groups, with Marjory Mwanza

    In this episode of On A Tangent, Simone is joined by Marjory Mwanza, a Young African Mathematicians (YAM) Fellow working in group theory. We learn about how one goes from statistics to group theory, and where to find deep structure in seemingly simple objects.

    Episode 5: How an Inventor becomes a Mathematician, with Rin Ray

    In this episode of On A Tangent, Simone is joined by Rin Ray, a postdoc in Topology. We learn about why an inventor becomes a mathematician, and how to build bridges between deep questions in different areas.

    Episode 4: Weddings and Limit Structures, with Rob Sullivan

    In this episode of On A Tangent, Simone is joined by Rob Sullivan, a postdoc in Combinatorics and Model Theory. We learn about what children do to entertain themselves at boring weddings, and what we do (not) know about ultrahomogeneous structures.

    Episode 3: Paradoxical Sets and Ice Cream, with Azul Fatalini

    In this episode of On A Tangent, Simone is joined by Azul Fatalini, a doctoral researcher in Set Theory. We learn about how the Axiom of Choice transforms the universes it holds in, how logic is the mathematics of mathematics, and what’s the quickest path to ice cream.

    Episode 2: Springs and Memory Alloys, with Mert Bastug

    In this episode of On A Tangent, Simone is joined by Mert Bastug, a doctoral researcher in PDEs and Calculus of Variations. We discuss Mert’s first meeting with mathematics, how we can understand materials with the help of PDEs, and where they might take us next.
