In conversation with: Interview series with numerical analysts

Lockdown hasn’t gone away and so we have new ways to teach, virtual coffee breaks with colleagues, and remote conferences and seminars. To get to know our Numerical Analysis Seminar guests a bit better, we have started an informal interview series called In Conversation With. In the run-up to each seminar, Marieke Kootte sits down with our guests for a personal conversation on their backgrounds, the inevitable ups and downs in life and academia, and lessons/advice for students and young researchers. Check out the interviews from the first semester here!

PS: Love what Xavier Claeys said here - “There is another important aspect of this job that is at least as difficult as answering questions: asking questions.”
