    Plus Advent Calendar Door #1: Meet Tosin Babasola

    30 November, 2022
    Tosin

    Tosin Babasola

    Tosin Babasola is a PhD student in mathematics at the University of Bath and the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Statistical Applied Mathematics (SAMBa). In our most recent interview with him he tells us about his work on understanding the impact of climate on cocoa crops, why he chose to work in the area, and why the continuous production of cocoa is in everyone's interest.

    Find out more in our interview with Tosin!

    We first met Tosin at the virtual Heidelberg Laureate Forum 2020. You can watch a video interview with him we conducted at the time. We were inspired to interview him again after watching him talk at the Black Heroes of Mathematics conference 2022. 

    Return to the Plus advent calendar 2022.


    This article was produced as part of our collaboration with the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences (INI) – you can find all the content from our collaboration here. The INI is an international research centre and our neighbour here on the University of Cambridge's maths campus. It attracts leading mathematical scientists from all over the world, and is open to all. Visit www.newton.ac.uk to find out more.
