What if the simple act of tapping your card could put your identity at risk? Every day, we trust encryption to protect our money, data, and digital lives. But quantum computers are advancing fast, and soon they could crack today’s security in seconds, making our current “digital locks” obsolete. So how do we protect ourselves in a quantum world? On this episode of The Solutionists, host Mark Scott explores the race to reinvent cybersecurity for the quantum age. He speaks with leading mathematician Nalini Joshi, 2025 NSW Scientist of the Year, who’s bringing together some of the world’s brightest minds to develop new forms of encryption powerful enough to withstand quantum computing. She explains why maths is central to our digital future, and how mathematical thinking can unlock entirely new possibilities. Plus, PhD researcher Prachi takes us inside a quantum control lab for a rare glimpse of a quantum computer in action. +++ The Solutionists is a podcast from the University of Sydney, produced by Deadset Studios.

Finnish educator, author, and scholar, Pasi Sahlberg, High school teacher and “WooTube” star Eddie Woo and Mathematician from the University of Sydney Professor Nalini Joshi, speak together about the challenges we face within maths education in Australia. The three discuss urgent changes that are required in the way we teach mathematics and represent it to young people as well as what makes maths beautiful and at the same time essential for Australia modern life. This talk was recorded live at Sydney Opera House in 2021 as part of a 3 part series of urgent conversations about the Australian Education System. - Watch other talks on Stream.

Why aren't there more women in maths or in STEM? What's being done about that, and why is it that so important?In this episode, Dr Giang Nguyen and ACEMS PhD Student Caitlin Gray chat with one of Australia's best known mathematicians, a woman who has blazed a trail for others to follow her: Prof Nalini Joshi from The University of Sydney. They also explore why a maths education is more important now than ever.The Random Sample is a podcast by the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Mathematical and Statistical frontiers.

Power trips, field trips, money and ego. Fear, shame, embarrassment, and loss. Careers ended, creative potential truncated. A devastating cocktail. Frank and fearless ideas for change.
We need to encourage creativity and playfulness in Australia's young students ... if they're to solve the world's future problems.
Nalini Joshi has just been elected Vice President of the International Mathematical Union (IMU), which organises the International Congress of Mathematicians and awards the Prizes. We talk to her about the work of the IMU, her own work in mathematics, and the SAGE programme she has helped set up to improve gender equity in STEM subjects in Australia.

Professor Maryam Mirzakhani was the first woman to win the prestigious Fields Medal. She died in 2017.
Join applied mathematician Nalini Joshi to learn about Mittag-Leffler's theorem, a fundamental result in complex analysis that tells us how to build meromorphic functions on the plane with any prescribed set of poles.
Sexual harassment allegations against one of Australia's most esteemed statisticians are forcing the country's science organisations to confront the issue, head on. The science community has been quietly grappling with the issue, but until now it's remained out of the spotlight. Hagar Cohen reveals details of the investigation into Professor Terry Speed.
Australian mathematician Nalini Joshi pays a personal tribute to the life and legacy of Maryam Mirzakhani, the first female winner of the Fields Medal, who died in 2017.
In 2017 there are Australian universities that still haven’t appointed a single woman to the position of professor of mathematics, a renowned mathematician has said in her keynote speech. And what grinds the gears of professor Nalini Joshi, the University of Sydney’s first woman professor in the School of Mathematics and Statistics, “is when logical, scientifically trained people make excuses for such situations.”
