Prof Nikita Agarwal from the University of Delhi commented: "Prof Koivusalo's talk 'Turning a needle and other problems in fractal geometry' explored fascinating mathematical ideas, shared insights from her research, and reflected on her academic journey. She effectively used mathematical models and experiential learning tools to engage the audience, making the sessions interactive, accessible, and enriching. The personal journey and experiences she shared left a lasting impression and inspired many young women in the audience.
"Indian Women and Mathematics is deeply grateful to Professor Koivusalo for generously taking time out of her professional and personal commitments to visit several academic institutions across India over the span of ten days. Her enthusiasm to share her knowledge and experiences made her visit truly meaningful and memorable."
The presentation series further develops Bristol's Mathematics education provision in India, in the inaugural year of the University of Bristol's Mumbai Enterprise Campus.
