Imagine a future where everyone gets to truly experience maths. One where we can lift formulae off the page and turn them into patterns and shapes that we can see, feel, touch and interact with. One day, could we all be mathematicians?

Dr Vera Roshchina is a mathematician working in the field of optimisation and geometry. Before joining the School of Mathematics and Statistics, Vera studied and worked in Melbourne, Hong Kong, Russia and Portugal.

This talk and interview are part of Unsomnia: a series of short talks for restless minds.

Tackling the issues that keep us up at night, imagining the inconceivable and envisioning the future, UNSW researchers have just 10 minutes each to explain what life we will be living in the future.

To celebrate the 70th anniversary of UNSW Sydney, researchers were asked to take stock of what society used to be, fast forward to today’s world and look ahead another 70 years.

Hosted by Rob Brooks.
