Abstract

As you develop as a researcher, you will probably be expected to undertake an ever wider range of activities and to develop a range of disparate skills. In this session, I plan to discuss how these skills might fit into a “research lifecycle” – from the first germs of an idea to publication and beyond to wider influence. We can then use this to talk about the following questions, with mathematical sciences in mind:

  • What does it mean to lead or manage research rather than do it? Is there a difference?
  • What is the difference between writing a dissertation, a paper, a review, an outreach material or a grant proposal?
  • How can I use this to help prioritise activities about what needs (and does not need) to be done right now?

View the recording of the talk here.

The Research Students’ Conference (RSC) in Probability and Statistics is an annual conference for postgraduate research students in all areas of probability and statistics. The 2024 edition was hosted by PhD students within the department on 20-24th August 2024. See their site for more information!

There will be a one-day workshop on 24 July 2024 and online, focused on how interactive theorem provers, like Lean and Isabelle, can be used in mathematics and computer science. This event is ideal for educators and researchers who use deductive proof.

No prior experience is necessary: the day starts and ends with hands-on sessions that provide practical experience for those unfamiliar with Lean.
