About Us
Simulectics Radio is a premier digital broadcast platform dedicated to the rigorous exploration of mathematics and its role in understanding reality. Through high-level mathematical discourse, we examine pure theory, applied methods, and the deep structures underlying complex systems. Our programming features dialogues with the world's leading mathematicians, physicists, computer scientists, and theorists who use mathematics as a lens for understanding the universe.
Hosts
Dr. Sarah Wilson
A former research mathematician who specialized in algebraic topology before transitioning to science communication. She completed her PhD at UC Berkeley, focusing on homotopy theory and its applications to data science. After a postdoc at MSRI, she pivoted to public scholarship, writing extensively on the philosophy of mathematics and mathematical intuition.
David Zhao
Zhao is a physicist turned complexity scientist who studied statistical mechanics and nonlinear dynamics at MIT. He spent years modeling financial markets and ecological systems before joining a think tank focused on network science. His work bridges pure mathematics and messy reality, often questioning whether mathematical models reveal or obscure truth.
