What was your method of explaining your thesis in 3 minutes?
I will explain in a creative language that will make people, who are not specialised in my topic, understand easily. During my presentation, I will ask a few questions to attract people's attention, then I will answer them myself. I will focus on my challenges and then my achievements during my research.
What inspires you to do research?
What inspires me to do research is developing new ideas and beeing creative to solve challenging real life problems using mathematics.
This makes me feel helpful in the society. I think I can have positive impact on other people's life. I also enjoy the process of reserach, exploring new problems and potential solutions.
If you have to dedicate your research to anyone from the past, present, or future, who would it be and why?
I dedicate my research to my husband, parents, and my both supervisors Serge Prudhomme and Marc Laforest. Because their extraordinary support and inspiration are helping me to achive my dreams.
