FSH RU Special Topic: Maths in Action: Controlling Sound and Electromagnetic Waves
Featuring: Dr. Neil Egarguin | University of the Philippines Los Baños
From the speaker:
I bet that at one point in your life you have asked, “Will I ever need the maths I am learning at school?”. Or when deciding what course to take in college, you have asked, “What would be my job prospects if I get a degree in mathematics?”. These were my questions too, back in my younger days. In this talk, I will share some answers I found to these questions, along with some insights about pursuing a career in STEM, or mathematics in particular. I will highlight my research work which aims to design strategies to control sound and electromagnetic waves. This will show that math can lead to cool stuff, such as designing smart audio systems, making a submarine invisible to SONAR or hiding an airplane from radar, and using drones to optimize long distance communications. Pretty amazing, huh? So join us and let’s see Maths in action!
