Interview with Jessica Fintzen
Jessica Fintzen’s research interests include representation theory and number theory: two areas of mathematics with a mysterious relationship. In this interview, Jessica gives us a rundown of p-adic groups and their representations, and how they are connected to the Langlands Program. She also shares her mathematical motivations (and her talent for handstands).
