On A Tangent: Voices of Mathematics Münster

In the sixth episode of On a Tangent’s second season, Carlo talks to Malthe Mejlsted from Copenhagen about his time in Denmark, his participation in mathematics Olympiads, camps, and other science programmes, and what these experiences taught him. As a PhD student under Professor Wilhelm Winter, Malthe is now investigating operator algebras.

In this season's fifth episode of On a Tangent, Carlo speaks with Raquel Murat García about her academic starts in Spain, the shift from more applied science to pure math and her motivation for that, as well as about her reasons to go to Münster. As a PhD candidate of Linus Kramer, in her research Raquel is focusing on condensed group cohomology.

In the second season's fourth episode of On a Tangent, Carlo speaks with Benjamin Brück about his journey to Münster, away from it, and ultimately back again, the stations and challenges along the way and his connection to music. In his research Benjamin is focusing on high dimensional cohomology of arithmetic groups.

In the third episode von "On a Tangent", Carlo speaks with Nataniel Marquis, a postdoctoral researcher working on p-adic geometry in Eugen Hellmann’s research group, about their enthusiasm for mathematics, Batman’s influence on it, and the French classe préparatoire system, as well as how dancing and music help to clear the mind.

In the second episode of the second series of On A Tangent, Carlo speaks to Elisabetta Mazzolari. She is a doctoral researcher at the Institute of Mathematical Stochastics and works in the field of probability theory. In the podcast, she explains what led her from Pavia via Delft to Münster, and what she does to clear her head.

In the first episode of the new season of On A Tangent, Carlo talks to Maxime Ramzi, a postdoctoral researcher specialising in algebraic K-theory and homotopical algebra. Maxime talks about how inspiring maths teachers influenced him, how he came to Münster via Copenhagen, and where you might run into him outside of mathematics.

In this episode of On A Tangent, Simone is joined by Edith Hübner, a doctoral researcher in topology. We learn about her journey from physics to mathematics, what headbutting gnomes can teach young children, and the mysteries of infinity categories.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

In this episode of "On A Tangent", Simone is joined by Alex Tullini, a doctoral researcher in General Relativity. We discuss Alex’s journey towards mathematics, going through oranges, eclipses, and the odd similarities between a career in mathematics and surgery.
