Why Engineers Should Read More Novels
Chemie Ingenieur Technik, EarlyView.What do engineers do? And what should they work on? A surprising answer is outlined in this essay, which argues that reading novels holds the key for addressing both questions. Novels train the imagination as well as our ethical abilities – skills that are essential for developing future‐proof technologies.

Human flaws and logical tools in engineering
The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.Abstract This paper explores the limitations of human cognition, especially in engineering research, emphasizing the need for mathematical models and methods to guide decision‐making and theory validation. While human cognition excels in certain tasks, it is prone to biases that can distort our understanding.

Who cares about mathematics education? [PDF]
arXivIn the past two decades, teaching and outreach have come to hold an expected place in more missions of mathematics departments and organizations. Still, there is more to do as a mathematical sciences community for mathematics education and mathematics educators to be fully included.

Random discrete probability measures based on a negative binomial process
Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.Abstract A distinctive functional of the Poisson point process is the negative binomial process for which the increments are not independent but are independent conditional on an underlying gamma variable. Using a new point process representation for the negative binomial process, we generalize the Poisson–Kingman distribution and its corresponding ...
