<<'The essence of Mathematics lies in its freedom' is a quote by George Cantor which represents my way of tackling Mathematical research, as an inquisitive abstract-thinker, one who is all about the big questions and having the freedom to come up with my own answers. I have occupied my teenagehood mostly delving deep into the world of Mathematics, and my participation in national contests and Olympiads awarded me with two medals and experience when it comes to Olympiad Maths for international competitions. With this in mind, doing Mathematics was a perfectly suited subject for me. Mathematics is the most refined and abstract of the arts, but it is also frequently misconceived and not fully grasped by many, and precisely this misunderstanding is what draws me in the research of this "art form", and drives me to do it justice in an environment which is permissive of so much creative expression.
