Women in Mathematics 2019

Thanks to Wolfram Just I received invitations to speak at the Women in Mathematics 2019 event, which had an interesting lineup of academics in topics ranging from forensics to music, and the QMUL School of Mathematical Sciences' Complex Systems Seminar, both taking place the same afternoon on Tuesday, 12 March 2019, one hour apart.  Below are the schedule of academic talks and link to photos.

The annual Women in Mathematics event was hosted by the School of Mathematical Sciences at QMUL on Tuesday, 12 March 2019, 10.30h-17.15h in the Octagon. The event, supported by the London Mathematical Society, celebrates the range of opportunities open to women in mathematics. Attendees included undergraduate and postgraduate students, and early career mathematicians. There was an exciting lineup of interesting speakers (see below) applying mathematical techniques to fields ranging from forensics and law to microbes and music. I gave a talk titled, "The mathematics of musical structures: from harmony to heartbeats." Photos: photos.app.goo.gl/GYkG5fFACXRbdF7A8
