Maths@Derby

I am actively promoting mathematics through LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/ovidiu-bagdasar-3541a46b/) and Twitter (https://twitter.com/BagdasarO). Together with students and Marketing we have designed the Maths@Derby brand, which aims to make Maths at Derby visible to wider public through
   1. Website (blogs, events, videos): https://www.derbyunion.co.uk/societies/mathematics/
   2. YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYMmOAhcxSbIhhN062cdEfw.     
       We have interviewed students, Erasmus guests, and also the President of the IMA, Dr Nira Chamberlain, OBE.
   3. Twitter: @DerbyMaths, @DerbyMathsSoc (which I promote through @BagdasarO).

The research work on Mafia networks has reverberated in the press and led to numerous articles and interviews.
