Week 23.01.2022 – 29.01.2022

We read the book on Quantum Field Theory in Curved Spacetime and Black Hole Thermodynamics by Robert M. Wald.

This is an online club held every Thursday 4:15pm-5:15pm on teams. Contact: george.papadopoulos@kcl.ac.uk

We are delighted to invite you to a talk by Isao Makabe as part of the series of careers talks ‘on the transition from academia to industry’ by former PhD students in the Department of Mathematics.

Isao is a data scientist at Permutive, an ad-tech startup, which builds an audience platform built on edge computing for advertisers and publishers while keeping everyone's data safe. He has been working as a data scientist for over three years in BtoB companies building big data and machine learning solutions. Before that, he studied theoretical physics PhD at KCL as an international student under the supervision of Gerard Watts, graduating in 2017.

While this event is primarily intended as a careers event for PhD students, all mathematics students are welcome to attend. The talk will take place on Microsoft Teams, please join via the below at the time of the event. There is no need to register.
