Thematic Program on Discrete Geometry and Applications
July 1 - December 31, 2011
Description
Main Directions of Research
The program will be divided into three parts each concentrated around a week long conference and accompanied by two workshops. The first part of the program (September) will focus on Discrete Geometry and Optimization. The second part (October) is going to be on Rigidity and Symmetry and the third part (November) will be around Computational Topology and Sphere Arrangements.
The Thematic Program on Discrete Geometry and Applicationsis pleased to welcome the following Postdoctoral Fellows to the Program:
Fields Ontario Postdoctoral Fellows |
Megan Owen, PhD (Cornell University '08) |
Fields Postdoctoral Fellows |
Bernd Schulze, PhD (York University 2009) |
Program Visitors
Postdoctoral fellowship applications
We will support a number of Fields postdocs for the duration of the program, as well as offer support towards a visitors' program, including visiting Ph.D. students. For information abotu Fields postdoctoral fellowships for a see postdoctoral web page.
Program Participants requesting support or office space
All scientific events are open to the mathematical sciences community. Visitors who are interested in office space or funding are requested to apply by filling out the application form. Additional support is available (pending NSF funding) to support junior US visitors to this program.
Fields scientific programs are devoted to research in the mathematical sciences, and enhanced graduate and post-doctoral training opportunities. Part of the mandate of the Institute is to broaden and enlarge the community, and to encourage the participation of women and members of visible minority groups in our scientific programs.
