About nitinupparpelli
I'm a PhD in Pure Maths (Combinatorics and Graph Theory) from the University of Cambridge. My BSc(Hons) was in Pure maths from Monash University, Australia. I work in industry as a director of Innovation and Research, helping to create equipment that does the maritime equivalent of Air-Traffic Control. Basically, we provide kit to help people stop 30,000 tonne oil tankers from crashing into nuclear submarines.
In what's laughingly called my free time I travel around the world giving talks on why maths is useful, fun, and occasionally exciting. My most popular talk is on the theory of juggling. I speak about 100 times a year, mostly in the UK, but recently in New York, Boston, Atlanta, Finland, Ireland, and Jersey.

If you passed a homeless person on the street, would you give them a dollar? Or just keep on walking?
