This talk is from the Online Event: IMA 16+ ‘What it’s like to study Mathematics at University?’ Conference 2021.

This event explored what being a student mathematician entails how to take it further into a career; bridging the gap between current education and future opportunities.

This talk was given by Mungo Aitken. Mungo is doing a PhD in Applied Mathematics at the University of Cambridge. His research focuses on acoustics and solid mechanics with applications such as reducing noise emissions from the hulls of underwater vehicles. He is a co‐founder of the Solid Mechanics research group at DAMTP. As somebody with a cochlear implant, he also has a keen interest in improving accessibility to academia for everybody. In his spare time, he enjoys playing badminton, rowing and sailing on the Norfolk Broads.
