Living Proof: the Isaac Newton Institute podcastAuthor: Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences
The Isaac Newton Institute is the world's foremost mathematical research centre. Living Proof aims to highlight the diverse people and interconnected topics linked to its many activities. Interviewees range from visiting academics and lecturers to mathematicians, other scientists, musicians, artists, students, and prominent figures within the University of Cambridge and beyond. The podcast typically involves mathematical themes, but is specifically aimed at a general audience. The focus is on the subjects being interviewed and the social stories they have to tell, not just on the significance and details of the research they may be undertaking. We hope there is interest and inspiration here for everyone.- The Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences (UK) is an international research centre based in Cambridge, UK. A part of the University of Cambridge, it has been hosting research programmes on mathematical themes since July 1992.Visit www.newton.ac.uk/news/ini-podcast Language: en Genres: Mathematics, Science Contact email: Get it Feed URL: Get it iTunes ID: Get it |

#63 Exploring anomalous diffusion: an interview with Aleks Mijatovic and Codina Cotar
Episode 63
Monday, 7 October, 2024
In the latest episode of Living Proof, Dan Aspel speaks to Aleks Mijatovic (Warwick, Alan Turing Institute) and Codina Cotar (UCL) about the Stochastic systems for anomalous diffusion programme. They’ll be speaking about the theme and challenges of their highly interdisciplinary six-month research project, but the conversation starts with comments on some truly remarkable headwear…Stochastic systems for anomalous diffusion programme: https://www.newton.ac.uk/event/ssd/Submit a proposal for an INI programme: https://www.newton.ac.uk/events/submit-a-proposal/00:00 - Introduction00:41 - Welcome, an insight into “flamboyant” hat designs03:53 - Explaining the concept of anomalous diffusion 07:05 - Connections to physics, biology, statistical mechanics and more10:00 - The logistical support at INI in Cambridge: “I’ve never been so relaxed in my life!”13:20 - “The freedom this place affords us is great, and fertile ground for such things to happen”17:52 - Solutions vs questions20:44 - Personal highlights of the programme
