What is an initial value problem? And why do many of us find mathematical modelling so challenging?  In this episode, we again have the honor of talking to Prof. Marina Axelson-Fisk, Professor in Mathematical Statistics at Chalmers University of Technology.  This is the third time Prof. Axelson-Fisk is a guest in Science on Surfaces – tips, tricks and tools, and this time she shares some of her vast knowledge on mathematical modelling and how this is used in science.  As always...

34. Challenges of an academic career path – a conversation on productivity, creativity, and funding

In this podcast, we cover topics related to everyday life in surface and interface science. We invite leading scientists and experts in different areas to have interesting discussions spanning everything from the bigger perspectives to scientific details. We talk about key concepts and terminology, tools and instrumentation used, challenges, strategies, and approaches to address common issues, as well as tips and tricks related to the planning and performance of the research and scientific work itself.
