Applied Topology

We are thrilled to announce that the 2025 Young Topologists Meeting (YTM) will take place from June 23rd to June 27th, 2025 in Stockholm! This year, the event is jointly hosted by KTH Royal Institute of Technology and Stockholm University.YTM is an annual conference organized for and by young researchers in topology. Its mission is to introduce participants to emerging topics of significance in the field and inspire them to actively engage with the mathematical community early in their careers. The atmosphere will be kept very friendly and inclusive.The program will feature:

• Three Mini-Courses led by:

 – Frédéric Chazal (Inria Saclay)

 – Manuel Krannich (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology)

 – Maria Yakerson (Oxford University/IMJ-PRG) as well as 

•  Participant Talks and Poster Sessions from junior researchers

There will be forthcoming announcements with information concerning the registration.For additional details about the conference, please visit our official website: www.math-stockholm.se/1.1350169. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to the organizers at: ytm2025@math.su.se

The conference is organized in partnership with the Clay Mathematics Institute, and is supported by Kungliga Vetenskapsakademien,  the K-Theory Foundation, the G.S. Magnuson Foundation, the Wenner-Gren Foundations, Stockholms Matematikcentrum, KTH, and SU.We look forward to seeing you in Stockholm!

 Kind regards,The organizersBenedetta Andina, Ronno Das, Christina Kapatsori, Oliver Lindström, Jan McGarry Furriol, Isaac Ren, Elmo Vuorenmaa, and Björn Wehlin.

Dear All,

The mathematics department at KTH has opened a two year postdoc position in TDA. The successful candidate will be involved in applied projects in collaboration with SeRC (https://e-science.se/) and more generally in research in TDA. Teaching duties of 20% are included in the employment. The starting date of the postdoc is June 2025, by the time of employment the candidate should have obtained a PhD. Feel free to reach out to Martina Scolamiero (scola@kth.se) if you have any questions or would like to know more about the position and our research. Deadline for applying is 27th January and a link to the application is below:

We are looking for talented PhD candidates to join us at QMUL for two exciting projects.

Both are at the intersection between TDA, stochastic topology, and applications.

1. Mathematical Foundations of AI:

Hi everyone!

We are extremely excited to announce AATRN’s first-ever in-person conference, The Geometric Realization of AATRN. It will be held at iMSi, the Institute for Mathematical and Statistical Innovation, in Chicago, IL, USA, over August 18-22, 2025. Here is the conference website: imsi.topology.rocks

Registration is already open, and speakers have already been selected. We have intentionally not packed the schedule with too many talks. We encourage folks to sign up to present posters, and will have more than one poster session as appropriate to accommodate all interested attendees. Travel funding decisions are made by iMSi, but our understanding is that they have funding opportunities for both domestic and international attendees. We hope to meet the building capacity of the iMSi institute, which to the best of our understanding hasn’t been accomplished yet! For those who can’t attend in-person, talks will also be live-streamed, recorded, and posted on AATRN’s YouTube channel — but we encourage you to register and to try to attend in-person. Please feel free to contact us with any questions!

See our attached advertisement poster (and please contact us if you would like a high-resolution version for printing).

Best, the AATRN directors

“We are happy to announce the upcoming Applied Topology Conference, to be
held on the campus of Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań from July
14–18, 2025. After three successful editions in Będlewo, we are excited
to bring the conference to a new location, providing a fresh setting for
this gathering of topologists.

More information will follow soon on the conference website.

The conference will be preceded by an introductory workshop on
topological data analysis on July 12-13.

Please save the date and stay tuned for more information!

“The Institute of Mathematics in Aberdeen is offering a postdoctoral position funded by an EPSRC Network grant under the title “The Mathematical Foundation of Artificial Intelligence – An Erlangen programme.”

The network, led by Oxford, includes 6 institutions, 38 researchers, and a growing number of business partners. The programme aims to produce a study based on rigorous mathematical principles that would bring better understanding of existing AI methods as well as a new generation of methods that have guaranteed expressive and generalisation power, better interpretability, scalability, and data- and computational-efficiency.  

The part Aberdeen will play within this programme is based on the work and experience of Professor Ran Levi in applications of algebra, graph theory, category theory, and algebraic topology to science, and particularly neuroscience. Work will be carried out primarily within the Institute of Mathematics which is a part of the School of Natural and Computing Science. 

The successful candidate will have a PhD in pure or applied algebraic topology, and a working knowledge of mathematical programming such as python or C++.  The post will require collaborative work with Prof Levi on the subject of the programme, as well as meetings, discussions and collaborative work with other parties involved in the project. Application materials should include information both on mathematical and on computing skills. 

Closing date for applications is 15th November. Interviews are expected to take place online by the end of November. For more information and to apply online click here.

Informal inquiries are welcome. Please write to Ran Levi at r.levi@abdn.ac.uk. “
