Description
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.

In this season’s seventh and final episode of "On a Tangent", Carlo talks with Adam Thompson. Adam shares stories about his time swimming competitively and studying in Australia, his early fascination with geometry in mathematics, and his experiences moving around the world.
Adam is a PhD candidate in Christoph Böhm’s research group, where he focuses on Ricci solitons, geometric flows, and spaces with symmetry.
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.
