Felipe Cucker
Please close your eyes for a moment and think about your research project. What do you see at first?
I see a work already finished, with a result that greatly enhances our knowledge regarding
a very specific, but utterly important, problem.
What would your research project look like if it was a piece of art?
It would look like an innovative piece of conceptual art.
Please give your research project a suitable fantasy name!
"Elusive Clouds"
To your opinion, what are the three most meaningful inventions of mankind?
Writing systems, the wheel, and the metal foundry.
With whom would you like to exchange your workplace for one day, and what would you do then?
Problem is, I am not qualified to do the job of most of the people I would like to exchange
my workplace with for one day. If I did the exchange, I would then panic.
Is there any object of obsession, which accompanies you in your daily life?
Not any particular object but the wish of founding beauty in all those surrounding me.
Any rather unusual hobbies you might want to share?
An interest in creating an art piece I can feel satisfied with.
Is there a place in Berlin that links to the work on your research project?
Berlin has amazing bars and coffee places. Not that these places link to the subject
of my research project but they definitely link with the project itself. I have spent
very a fruitful time discussing maths with my colleagues in some of them ...
