Raffaella Mulas is a tenured Assistant Professor at VU Amsterdam, where her research is supported by NWO VENI and VU Startpremie grants. Previously, she was a Group Leader at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences, where her research group was supported by a Minerva Fast Track Fellowship from the Max Planck Society, and a postdoctoral researcher at the Alan Turing Institute in London. Outside of her academic work, she is also a storyteller, performing in theaters and sharing personal stories or those of people she knows. Combining her love of stories with her passion for mathematics, she has been interviewing mathematicians with a focus on their human side. She is the co-author of Bear Networks, a mathematics book for children, as well as an upcoming research monograph in mathematics.
