How do shapes transform when stretched, twisted, or deformed, yet still retain key properties? In this episode, Sujai and Rhiannon sit down with Jonathan Pim, a curious doctoral student trying to figure out just this. Together, they explore how quasi-conformal geometry allows mathematicians to map and manipulate spaces in unique ways. They also talk about what a day in the life of a mathematics PhD student looks like, and how did he end up working on this fascinating topic. Tune in and listen to them bring some abstract ideas to life. Jonathan Pim is a PhD student in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Helsinki, Finland.
