Meet Carola-Bibiane Schönlieb!
One of our favourite colleagues here at the University of Cambridge is Professor of Applied Mathematics Carola-Bibiane Schönlieb. We have had the pleasure to work with her quite a bit over the last few years.
Back in 2017 Carola won a prestigious Philip Leverhulme Prize and now she's part of the EXPeditions Philip Leverhulme Prize Collection which showcases conversations with winners of the prize. Thanks to EXPeditions and the Leverhulme Trust, we're proud to bring you some lovely videos they have produced, featuring Carola talking about various aspects of her work. You can see these below. We have also included links to relevant content here on Plus.
We start off with a short clip of Carola giving advice to those interested in a career in maths, especially women: "It's important to celebrate the take you have on a particular subject and to make it your own".
Image processing and the beauty of mathematics
Maths in a minute: Differential equations
Change is the only constant in our lives — which is why differential equations are so useful.
Maths in a minute: Diffusion
Whenever you smell the lovely smell of fresh coffee or drop a tea bag into hot water you're benefiting from diffusion. Find a quick introduction to the concept here.
What the eye can't see
From cancer treatments to counting trees: Carola helps us explain what image analysis can do.
Understanding the diversity of forests using AI
Carola and her team explain how combining image analysis with AI can help assess the diversity of forests.
