Advent calendar door #24: Jessica Fintzen

It's Christmas eve! But while we love Christmas, we continue to remember the brilliant time we had in Seville last summer at the European Congress of Mathematics (ECM). In this episode of Maths on the move we revisit an interview with one of the mathematicians we met at the ECM, Jessica Fintzen, who won a prestigious EMS Prize at the Congress.

Jessica tells us how to capture infinitely many snowflakes at the same time, the maths of symmetry and her work on representation theory, and why she likes doing handstands.

To find out a little more about Jessica's mathematics, as well as her gymnastics, see this video.
