Dr. Donald Robertson is a Neumann Research Fellow in Pure Mathematics in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Manchester, Manchester, United Kingdom. Dr. Robertson is interested in ergodic theory and its application to combinatorial problems.

In a conversation with students from Simon Fraser University, Anmol Anmol Singh, Amritha Raj Kizhakkeputhukulathil Ramanan, and Brian Krammer, Dr. Robertson talks about why he preferred mathematics over physics, tells about the importance of communication in mathematics, and talks about connections between ergodic theory and Ramsey theory.
