Show Notes
Hannah is a Professor of Mathematics at University College London. She is an expert in algorithms, who studies the patterns in human behaviour – particularly in an urban setting.
Hannah is also a brilliant communicator, who shares her passion for maths - in books, podcasts, radio, television, and public talks.
Her hit shows include The Curious Cases of Rutherford and Fry, on Radio 4. While recent TV series, for the BBC and Bloomberg, have looked at technology and its implications for the future.
Hannah’s 2018 book, Hello World, explored the vast array of algorithms on which we increasingly rely. As technology evolves at a rapid rate, she believes that we should stop seeing machines as objective masters and start treating them as we would any other source of power. Because, in the age of the algorithm, humans have never been more important.
