A talk by Victoria Sánchez Muñoz, organised by the Early Career Mathematicians’ Committee.
Abstract
In this talk I will tell the full story behind the article “The Estimation of Wind Speed: Challenging the Insurance Company’s Decision”, awarded the Graham Hoare Prize 2022. Long story short: the insurance company refused to cover some damages on a blind caused by the wind but I, and my researcher side, did not agree so I challenged their decision using some very basic maths and physics.

Victoria Sánchez Muñoz, University of Galway: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Victoria-Sanchez-Munoz
Victoria is currently a final-year PhD student at the School of Mathematical & Statistical Sciences at University of Galway (Ireland), and the winner of the Graham Hoare Prize in 2022: https://ima.org.uk/20878/the-estimation-of-wind-speed-challenging-the-insurance-companys-decision/. She holds a BSc in Physics from Universitat de València (Spain) and a MSc in Theoretical Physics from Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (Spain). Her field of research is theoretical quantum physics. In particular, she focuses on quantum games, which are games when quantum resources are added and how those quantum resources affect the results of the game.
Despite Victoria being Spanish, she very much dislikes olives.
