The competition was held in connection to the <a href='https://www.newton.ac.uk/event/ssd/'>Stochastic systems for anomalous diffusion</a> research programme which took place at the <a href='https://newton.ac.uk/'>Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences</a> (INI) in Cambridge last year. </p>
<p>In this episode of Maths on the Move we talk to <a href='https://www.ucl.ac.uk/statistics/people/codina_cotar'>Codina Cotar</a>, who co-organised the INI programme and helped put on the competition.
