On Friday afternoon, students of Mathematics in the Sixth Form attended a Sixth Form Maths Enrichment session in which they enjoyed talking to Christina Pagel, a Professor at University College London who uses maths to help the NHS, and Giuseppe Cotugno, an Italian research engineer with a PhD in robotics, in a student-led online live chat. The forum was lively, with the boys asking all sorts of questions, from the technical (how machine learning is involved in robotics), the practical (the merits of doing a PhD, juggling work-life balance), and the imaginative (whether robots might take over the world). The boys were really grateful for their time.
