Episode Synopsis

This is the first episode of another small spinoff of It's Not Just Numbers, were we discuss with researchers working on mathematical topics in different disciplines and departments. In this episode, we talk to Jorge Perez (Computer Science department) and Davide Grossi (Artificial Intelligence department). As you will hear, both of them use a lot of mathematics in their research and work on topics that also have very theoretical angles.Throughout the episode, we discuss intedisciplinary collaborations, reaching outside one’s own line of research and the key role ofof asking questions to facilitate the exchange. We also explore if and how common stereotypes on academics change in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence from a societal point of view.Links for the episode:Davide Grossi's website⁠Jorge Perez' website ⁠Video: Fundamental computing: Mathematics and logic for software we can all rely onVideo: Fundamental Computing: The Many Sides of Logic= = = { 0 } = = =Produced by Marcello Seri and Anna de Bruijn= = = { 0 } = = =Illustrations by Henrieke KrijgsheldThe podcast soundtrack is derived from the royalty free track Starving by OctoSound and used in agreement with pixabay license https://pixabay.com/music/funk-starving-170377We are grateful to the Faculty of Science and Engineering of the University of Groningen for allowing us to use their equipment for this recording.
