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,

Håvard Bakke Bjerkevik, Barbara Giunti, and Mike Lesnick

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.

ComPer2024: Computational Persistence Workshop in Graz, Austria

The 4th workshop on Computational Persistence will take place from Sep 23 to Sep 27 in hybrid mode at Graz University of Technology, Austria. This workshop provides a forum to exchange ideas on computational aspects of topological persistence that fertilize advances in topological data analysis.

The schedule will be composed of invited and contributed talks on computational aspects of topological data analysis. Contributed talks can be suggested in the form of an abstract of at most two pages. A scientific committee will check the submissions and make a selection.

We encourage on-site participation, but equally welcome submissions of researchers that attend remotely. To facilitate remote participation from America in particular, the workshop sessions will take place in the afternoon.

Dates:
Deadline for abstracts of contributed talks: June 21, 2024
Notification of acceptance: July 15, 2024

Dear Colleagues,

This is the call for submissions for the Women in Computational Topology  Third Workshop (WinCompTop3) Proceedings, entitled “Research in Computational Topology 3,” which will be published as a volume in the Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM)-Springer series. The AWM-Springer series is a relatively new initiative by AWM (http://www.springer.com/series/13764) and the volumes are refereed proceedings at the level of the AMS Contemporary Mathematics standards.
This particular volume in the series is a follow-up to the third WinCompTop workshop, which was held at the Bernoulli Center (EPFL) in July 2023. 

We solicit submissions in the general area of applied and computational topology, broadly interpreted. Submissions should be reports on original work or possibly longer survey papers. While priority will be given to submissions co-authored by participants in the workshop, we expect to have significant room for additional papers, and welcome contributions from any WinCompTop network member or ally, provided that at least one of the authors on the submission identifies as a woman or gender diverse.

Please let us know if you plan to submit an article as soon as possible; you can do so by contacting Erin Chambers (erin.chambers@gmail.com) and Claudia Landi (clandi@unimore.it) via email, including the tentative title and abstract, as well as authors on the work.

Submissions are due by July 12, 2024, and should be submitted via email (to both erin.chambers@gmail.com and clandi@unimore.it) as a pdf file.  Accepted papers will need to be reformatted at a later stage using the Springer template.

Please let us know if you have any questions, and we look forward to seeing your contributions!

Best,
Erin Chambers and Claudia Landi, editors
