This event is part of the Distinguished Lecture series, which runs four lectures by leading experts every year. This lecture commemorates Davey Fitch (1978-2019), the first Business Development Officer for the University of Edinburgh School of Mathematics. The lecture aims to highlight the impact of Mathematical Sciences.
Abstract:
"During this talk, I will sketch how studying mathematics unfolded into a career crisscrossing the line between science and startup businesses, for a lifetime. We will see some success, some failures, but above all I hope to convey the tremendous joy in working on the overlap. Some of the technical topics we will encounter are data storage, chip design, machine learning and devops as well as a simple mathematical and business perspectives to illustrate some things that went well and some that didn’t complete."
About the speaker:
Peter Braam is a scientist and entrepreneur mostly focused on problems in very large scale scientific computing. Originally trained as a mathematician by Sir Michael Atiyah, he was an academic at several institutions including Oxford, CMU and Cambridge.
 One of his many startup companies developed the Lustre file system which is very widely used. Since 2014 he has focused on computing for the SKA telescope, machine learning for science and holds visiting professorships at Oxford and Waseda (Tokyo). He also rekindled his study of deep mathematics.

Edinburgh Castle is the soul of the city. Stepping up the castle, as if crossing the medieval period, the ancient walls, the black ancient guns, all tell the smoke of the war. Standing on the height of the castle, overlooking the city of Edinburgh, the red tiles and green trees, the blue sea and blue sky, have a panoramic view.

Calton Hill

Mountain climbing

Oo西野司oO

&quot;Bagpipes sound from afar, I only care about your news.
The castle keeps secrets for love, and I keep memories for you.&quot;
This is the location of Jay Chou&#39;s MV &quot;Obviously&quot;,
and it is also the birthplace of J.K. Rowling&#39;s creation of &quot;Harry Potter&quot;.
If you dream of a medieval city in a magical world,
then you must come here in this life.
Every building is a natural movie background,
and every corner seems to hide a secret passage to another world.
In the end, when the sunset on Calton Hill confiscated time,
Edinburgh, becoming amber that never fades, will always remain in my memory.
