    43 - Victor Arulchandran, wave dispersion and PhD skills

    43 - Victor Arulchandran, wave dispersion and PhD skills
    Episode 43. Victor Arulchandran of Brunel University talked to me (in a quite noisy tea room!) about his PhD topic looking at wave dispersion and the wide range of applications of that area of mathematics. Victor also talks about the skills he is able to acquire during his PhD which will aide his future career aspirations in financial modelling.
