CATS 2020 — Computational & Algorithmic Topology, Sydney

This workshop at the University of Sydney will bring together experts and emerging researchers from Australia, the USA and Europe to report on recent results and explore future directions in computational and algorithmic topology and related areas. There will be a focus on problems in computational geometric topology and computational algebraic topology. This workshop aims to stimulate interaction between researchers in order to bring about new collaborations on difficult problems that cannot be tackled from one viewpoint alone.

We plan to have talks by our invited speakers in the mornings, and open problem sessions, a poster session, and plenty of time for collaboration in the afternoons.

Invited Speakers:

Herbert Edelsbrunner (Institute of Science and Technology Austria)

Brittany Fasy (Montana State University)

Gregory Henselman (Princeton University)

Feng Luo (Rutgers University)
