Special Session on Computational Topology at the AMS-UMI Meeting in Palermo, July 2024

It is a pleasure to announce the special session “Computational Topology: Foundations, Algorithms, and Applications” (https://sites.google.com/view/ams-umi-computationaltopology/home-page), which will be held at the University of Palermo (Italy) from the 23rd to the 24th of July 2024 as a part of the “AMS-UMI International Joint Meeting” (https://umi.dm.unibo.it/jm-umi-ams/) taking place from the 23rd to the 26th of July 2024.

On that occasion, we want to valorize three distinct, but tightly intertwined directions within computational topology: the investigation of the mathematical foundations of the subject, the quest for creating higher-performance algorithms, and the paths for new applications that those tools have opened. On the other hand, we intend to bring together well-established researchers and early-career mathematicians, enhancing the exchange of ideas and promoting collaborations between different communities.

The confirmed speakers are:
Clemens Bannwart (University of Modena and Reggio Emilia)
Ulrich Bauer (Technical University of Munich)
Bruno Benedetti (University of Miami)
Håvard Bakke Bjerkevik (University at Albany)
Thomas Chaplin (University of Oxford)
Patrizio Frosini (University of Bologna)
Barbara Giunti (University at Albany)
Maria Antonietta Pascali (ISTI-CNR)
Matteo Pegoraro (Aalborg University)
Jose Perea (Northeastern University)
Érika Roldán Roa (Max Planck Institute)
Stefania Sardellitti (Sapienza University of Rome)
Nicholas Scoville (Ursinus College)
Francesca Tombari (Max Planck Institute)
Francesco Vaccarino (Polytechnic University of Turin)

AMS MRC 2024 on Climate Science at the Interface between Topological Data Analysis and Dynamical Systems Theory

Are you an early-career scientist/mathematician interested in using topological data analysis and dynamical systems to study climate change? Our AMS Summer Conference might be for you!

https://www.ams.org/programs/research-communities/mrc-24

https://www.ams.org/programs/research-communities/2024MRC-ClimateScience

Our AMS MRC titled “Climate Science at the Interface Between Topological Data Analysis and Dynamical Systems Theory” will take place in July 2024 at the Beaver Hollow Centre, New York (USA). 

The goal is to involve participants in research projects on exciting and novel applications of topological data analysis and dynamical systems theory to climate science. The MRC includes practical projects, like improving algorithms and software, applications to the study of weather regimes, and theoretical considerations in persistent homology and dynamical systems. Interactions between topological data analysis and these fields are still very new, so this is an ideal opportunity for early-career academics to make new contributions. The MRC will also include career guidance sessions, as well as plenty of socialising and enjoyment of the beautiful nature. Tutorials and reading material on topological data analysis and relevant climate/weather analysis will be provided in advance of the MRC.

You can read more about the theme of the MRC in our article published in the February 2024 issue of the AMS Notices: 

https://community.ams.org/journals/notices/202402/rnoti-p267.pdf

Please consider applying! We encourage applications from early-career (advanced undergraduate up to postdoc level) mathematicians with a background in applied algebraic topology and scientists working on climate or meteorology, both from academia and industry.

The organisers,

Kristian, Nina, Davide and Theo
