Funding for Mathematician from Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation Danai Deligeorgaki from the KTH Royal Institute for Technology in Stockholm will spend postdoctoral time with mathematicians at MPI-CBG.

Funding for Danai Deligeorgaki from the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation. She will spend her postdoctoral time with @aidadoesmath.bsky.social and Heather Harrington @math-mpicbg.bsky.social at the @mpi-cbg.de & @csbdresden.bsky.social. Congratulations! 🎉 www.mpi-cbg.de/news-outreac...

Joining us at the retreat, and soon also as a postdoc in @aidadoesmath.bsky.social’s group is Carlotta Langer talking about information-theoretic complexity measures in the context of integrated information theory. Madly interesting stuff.

Highlights to come from Brunów, Poland, but here we all are! All current and upcoming members. A wonderful couple of days getting to know more about each others’ work. All three groups together: @haharrington.bsky.social, Türkü Özlüm Çelik, and @aidadoesmath.bsky.social 🩵🩵🩵

Welcoming @aidadoesmath.bsky.social’s guest Skye Rothstein from MPI for Mathematics in the Sciences last night with some beautiful Turkish food. Yesterday he gave a wonderful talk on the topology of polyminoids in CSBD

Last few pics from the Algebraic Statistics conference in Munich! Jane Coons, Oskar Henriksson, Elizabeth Gross, Max Weismann, and Karel Devriendt all gave talks 👌🏼

Happy International Women’s Day!

Summer #internships in cell, developmental, and systems #biology, #biophysics, #mathematics (and more) @mpicbg.bsky.social @mpipks.bsky.social. Applications are open now:

Join us in #Dresden over the summer!

The numerical nonlinear algebra workshop, organized by @math-mpicbg.bsky.social, took place at the @mpicbg.bsky.social from February 3-6, 2025. It featured biology, chemistry, and physics with a focus on nonlinear modeling problems and techniques. News article: www.csbdresden.de/news-events/...

A computation that took us over 8 hours now only takes 15 seconds with tropical geometry! Very excited that Oskar Henriksson will join the algebra in data analysis (AIDA) group @mpicbg.bsky.social @tudresden.bsky.social

Get excited to hear our two keynote speakers, Kyne Santos and ila varma, talk about “Math in Drag” and “Mathematics for the People” at the 5th annual OURFA2M2 conference this weekend!

It’s not too late to register!

Aida describing work on toric geometry in Brownian Motion Tree models

Aida Maraj, a new mathematics group leader here @mpicbg.bsky.social and CSBD

Simon visualising linear spaces under the cosine map during his talk about Chebyshev varieties

Dmitrii spoke about the Gibbs manifold and some properties of the Gibbs variety - the zero locus of all polynomials that vanish on the Gibbs manifold

Georgy showing us how he uses polynomial approximations for global optimisation over a compact domain @georgysch.bsky.social

Irem presented nonlinear algebraic methods to compute generalised notions of Nash equilibria

Fabian spoke about the algebra and combinatorics underpinning coupled cluster theory for quantum many-body systems

Viktoriia presented homotopy continuation methods for solving 0-dimensional polynomial systems, with applications in nonlinear dynamics and computing approximate solutions to the electronic Schrödinger equation in coupled cluster theory

Oskar is joining the AIDA group here at CBG soon - today he spoke about tropical methods for making numerical calculations to polynomial systems certifiable, with some very cool speedups in computation 😎
