  The Most Brilliant Mathematician You Never Heard Of

  Aug 18, 202615 minS1

  In September 2020, during the quiet of a global lockdown, a phone call from California reached a flat in London with news that would stun any scientist: Martin Hairer had won the $3 million Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics. While the world was struggling with the chaos of a pandemic, Hairer was being honored for his ability to find order within that very chaos. A British-Austrian mathematician who still personally answers customer support emails for his sound-editing software, Hairer has achieved what many thought impossible: taming the "nightmarish" equations that describe the random growth of jagged interfaces. In this episode of Mavericks of Science , we trace the journey of a mathematician who moved from building a "Swiss Army knife" for sound to constructing a new mathematical language for the universe's noise.

  He Solved a 2000 Year old Problem with Raw Intelligence

  Aug 11, 202623 minS1

  In the sweltering summer of 2002, in a quiet office at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur, three researchers sat staring at a whiteboard. They were hunting for something mathematicians had sought for over two thousand years: a fast, perfect, and universal way to test if a number is prime. While the greatest minds in history—from the ancient Greeks to Gauss—had found only partial answers, Nitin Saxena , then a twenty-one-year-old student, helped find the final solution. In this episode of Mavericks of Science , we explore the journey of a quiet boy from Prayagraj who ignored the "impossible" and redrew the map of mathematical complexity.

  School Dropout Punk Rockstar to Theoretical Physicist

  Aug 4, 202614 minS1

  In the mid-1990s, sixteen-year-old Miranda Cheng was a high school dropout working in a record store in Taipei. A self-described "rebel girl," she had left home to pursue a career as a punk rock musician, convinced that formal education was "insufferable". Twenty-five years later, Dr. Cheng is a world-renowned theoretical physicist and an associate professor at the University of Amsterdam. In this episode of Mavericks of Science , we explore how a punk musician found "peaceful, quiet beauty" in mathematics and became a principal architect of a conjecture that connects the disparate continents of symmetry and number theory.

  Physicist Who Created World's Most Disruptive Startup

  Jul 28, 202621 minS1

  For decades, coding has been an unforgiving craft, demanding precise syntax where a single missing semicolon could crash an entire program. This high barrier meant that only specialized engineers could actually build the digital world. Anton Osika , a physicist by training and a builder by necessity, believes this era of exclusivity is over. His latest creation, Lovable , is a piece of software that writes software, allowing anyone to turn an idea into a functioning application in seconds just by using plain English. In this episode of Mavericks of Science , we explore the journey of the man behind one of Europe's fastest-growing startups, a company that now powers more than 10% of all new websites created globally.

  Meet Pioneer behind AI Brain Modeling

  Jul 14, 202615 minS1

  For decades, the human brain has been the final frontier of science, a biological masterpiece so complex that we’ve only been able to study its parts in isolation. But what if we could build a functional, digital copy of it? Martin Schrimpf , a researcher at EPFL, is moving away from the abstract debates of philosophy to the practical world of engineering, attempting to build a "digital twin" of the brain that can think, process language, and even help us heal. In this episode of Mavericks of Science , we follow the journey of an entrepreneur turned scientist who is using AI to decode the most sophisticated computer in the universe.
