54- Dr Madeleine Jotz Lean- Crocheting a mathematical life

Sandrine Soubes Season 2 Episode 12

Dr Madeleine Jotz-Lean has always had a passion for mathematics and research, which was nurtured from an early age by her teachers and supervisors. 

She began her publication record early, with 10 articles to her name by the end of her PhD. 

After moving from the US to Sheffield into a lectureship, she became more involved and interested in teaching, as well as equality and diversity, particularly tackling unconscious bias and stereotypes. 

She has also been involved in public outreach, using knitting and crochet to explain complex mathematical concepts to a wider audience.

Madeleine is now a Junior Professor at the University of Göttingen (Mathematisches Institut).
