Computational topology/geometry/graph
Biweekly Seminars

The past few years have witnessed the rapid development in Computational topology/geometry/graph and their applications in data science, biological science, engineering, technology, and mathematics. To foster their future development and train a new generation of researchers, we organize a biweekly virtual seminar series during the 2020-2021 academic year. Attendance is welcome.  Students are strongly encouraged to attend! A corresponding link for exercise:   TDA papers  

Organizing committee:

• Fei Han, (National University of Singapore)
• Guo-Wei Wei, (Michigan State University)
• Jie Wu, (Hebei Normal University)
• Kelin Xia, (Nanyang Technological University)

All seminars can be accessed via this Zoom link (password: TDAseminar) at 9 pm (EST) or 9 am (UTC+8).
