A conversation with fellow mathematics PhD student Michael Catli

To close out the semester, here is a conversation I had with fellow math PhD student Michael Catli. Michael and I both started the PhD in Fall 2023, although I knew him slightly before that, via a mutual friend at Seton Hall University, where Michael completed his undergraduate studies.
