ATMCS 11 – Remember to register and book housing!

Mikael Vejdemo-Johansson would like to remind everyone:
If you (like me…) have not yet registered and booked your lodgings for Bozeman MT, now is the time to get it done!

The conference webpage, https://comptag.github.io/atmcs11/registration.html, has links for both the registration process, and for conference lodging. There are a couple of hotels suggested, and there is also campus accommodations available. As I’m writing this, there are still several campus rooms left.

See you in Bozeman!

PhD position at Queen Mary University

We’re excited to invite applications for a fully funded PhD position at Queen Mary University of London. This is part of our project Mathematical Foundations for AI, which aims to build a deeper theoretical understanding of modern AI systems by integrating tools from topology, geometry, and probability. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to foundational research at the intersection of mathematics and machine learning, with potential applications to robustness, generalization, and interpretability of AI models. The position is part of the Erlangen Programme for AI, an interdisciplinary initiative bringing together researchers across mathematics, statistics, and computer science. Full project details and application information can be found here: https://www.findaphd.com/phds/project/mathematical-foundations-for-ai/?p177798.For more information, please contact us:

Memorial Volume for Sayan Mukherjee

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.

https://link.springer.com/journal/10013

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

Undergrad workshop on Algebraic and Computational Topology @ IPAM, UCLA, 12-13 April 2025

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

Chemical Graph Theory and Computational Topology Workshop, CECAM-HQ-EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland, July 16-18 2025

Xia Kelin writes:

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
