We were lucky enough to kick off our podcast interviews with Dr Lucas and Dr Tuxhorn, both of whom are what we sometimes refer to as "quants," but don't let that fool you––both of them have many added tools in their academic toolboxes! Dr Jack Lucas is an Associate Professor who has been with the department for 5 years and Dr Kim-Lee Tuxhorn is an Assistant Professor who has been a part of our department for 4 years. Welcome to the Seventh Floor.

This introductory podcast sets out our reasons for creating it in the first place! As two graduate students, we are passionate about our department and the opportunities it offers. So, we decided to take the leap into the world of podcasts to talk about it.
