#63 Exploring anomalous diffusion: an interview with Aleks Mijatovic and Codina Cotar

In the latest episode of Living Proof, Dan Aspel speaks to Aleks Mijatovic (Warwick, Alan Turing Institute) and Codina Cotar (UCL) about the Stochastic systems for anomalous diffusion programme. They’ll be speaking about the theme and challenges of their highly interdisciplinary six-month research project, but the conversation starts with comments on some truly remarkable headwear… Stochastic systems for anomalous diffusion programme: https://www.newton.ac.uk/event/ssd/ Submit a proposal for an INI programme: https://www.newton.ac.uk/events/submit-a-proposal/ 00:00 - Introduction 00:41 - Welcome, an insight into “flamboyant” hat designs 03:53 - Explaining the concept of anomalous diffusion  07:05 - Connections to physics, biology, statistical mechanics and more 10:00 - The logistical support at INI in Cambridge: “I’ve never been so relaxed in my life!” 13:20 - “The freedom this place affords us is great, and fertile ground for such things to happen” 17:52 - Solutions vs questions 20:44 - Personal highlights of the programme
