Applied Topology

In collaboration with Marzieh Eidi, Jürgen Jost, and Jonathan Mattingly, Justin Curry is editing a special issue of the Vietnam Journal of Mathematics (VJOM) in honor of our friend, colleague, and mentor, Sayan Mukherjee, who passed away suddenly this March.

VJOM has a good reputation for editing such memorial volumes. Jürgen Jost and Bernd Sturmfels, among many other accomplished mathematicians, are members of the editorial board.

To honor the incredible and wide-ranging work of Sayan, we are soliciting research articles and reviews for this memorial volume from an equally wide-ranging group of researchers. Please feel free to distribute this invitation as you see fit.

All contributions will be carefully refereed according to the highest standards in the field, which is something that we owe to Sayan.

You can submit on http://www.editorialmanager.com/vjom/ 

When submitting, please select Article type: S.I.: Memorial volume for Sayan Mukherjee.

The deadline for submissions is March 31, 2026.

We look forward to your contributions.

With our best wishes,

Justin Curry, Marzieh Eidi, Juergen Jost, Jonathan Mattingly

We mourn the loss of one of the pillars of our community.

Sayan Mukherjee passed away in Leipzig on Monday March 31, 2025 at age 54.

We’re thrilled to announce that the next ComPer Workshop will be held at SUNY Albany, October 10-14, 2025. The workshop will run in a hybrid mode, as the previous ones, with talks in the EST mornings and discussion sessions in the EST afternoons. The morning sessions will be broadcast on Zoom for all the online attendees.

The submission for contributed and lightning talks is now open, please see the workshop’s website at this link for all the details. The deadline for submission is June 20, 2025, AoE. 

Do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions, and feel free to share this announcement with your colleagues.

Looking forward to your participation (in-person or online)!

On behalf of the organizers,

Dear All,

The Mathematics department at KTH has opened a PhD position in Topological Data Analysis.

The research will focus on mathematical foundations of TDA and applications to Gene Regulatory Networks Inference within an interdisciplinary project funded by Digital Futures https://www.digitalfutures.kth.se/

Deadline for application is April 11th. A link to the application is the following: https://www.kth.se/lediga-jobb/805466?l=en. Feel free to contact me (scola@kth.se) if you have questions.

Best wishes,

Hi folks,

There is an undergraduate workshop on algebraic and computational topology at IPAM at UCLA. It takes place 12-13 April 2025:
https://www.ipam.ucla.edu/programs/special-events-and-conferences/puma-practicum-for-undergraduate-mathematicians-in-topology/

Applications are due 21 March (so very soon).

I am not involved in this program (so questions should not be directed to me),
but I just learned about it today and was encouraged to spread the news.

I am sure that many of you know potentially interested undergrads

We are happy to announce the upcoming CECAM Flagship Workshop “Advancing simulation, analysis and prediction of complex chemical systems using modern chemical graph theory and computational topology“,  CECAM-HQ-EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland, July 16, 2025 – July 18, 2025. 

The focus of this CECAM workshop will be to bring together computational chemists, materials scientists and biophysicists with leaders in the mathematics of graphs and computational topology. The workshop will educate these communities, foster collaboration and inspire development of both applied and fundamental computational methods in chemistry. We will focus upon each scale of information relevant to computational chemistry (from electrons to the mesoscale) and identify opportunities where graph theory and topology can help in method development and information transfer to accelerate interdisciplinary innovation.

Invited and contributed talks are welcome in the areas of: dynamic and time dependent phenomena,  energy landscapes and sampling, graph structure and pattern identification, and topology and shape of data.

In addition to invited and contributed talks, there are two poster sessions for the workshop, with one being dedicated solely to new algorithms and software.

The Registration deadline is June 13, 2025.

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!
