About — in the speaker's own words
I’m Felicia, doing a Masters in Mathematics at TU Berlin after having finished my undergrad at FU Berlin and the University of Melbourne. Last year I spent a year at Imperial College London doing research in Theoretical Systems Biology and improving my coding/ Julia skills. I’m interested in complex systems, especially in understanding biological systems and having a curious mind I would say I am a physicist by heart. Bridging the gap between biologists and mathematicians is quite a challenge; I find it totally thrilling to work interdisciplinary and learn from people in other fields. Coming from a rather pure background I am now transitioning into Applied Mathematics and I seek to learn more about Deep Learning as well as Computational Topology/ Topological Data Analysis with possible application to biology. If you are working in a similar field, come talk to me! I am passionate about science, open source, sustainability and diversity in tech. In my free time I enjoy doing sports (mountaineering, climbing and snowboarding), being outdoors, listening to jazz and classical music and reading (I pursued a minor in Philosophy). Apart from academia, I am interested in entrepreneurship and EA (Effective Altruism) and I am very keen to meet people with experience (or interest) in any of these!
