Episode #9 welcomes Professor Svitlana Mayboroda to the podcast. The Kirk Distinguished Visiting Fellow (https://www.newton.ac.uk/about/fellowships/kirk) for the "Approximation, sampling and compression in data science" programme, Svitlana talks us through a brief history of her career, her specialism in harmonic analysis, a love of mathematics for its own sake and the research aims that she and her collaborators are working towards during their time at INI.
