PIMS Workshop on Mathematical Sciences and Clean Energy Applications
To avoid the worst consequences of climate change, the energy chain of the global economy must be drastically decarbonized. This exploratory workshop will build a greater dialogue between those in the mathematical sciences and the clean energy sector. The workshop will include: first-hand accounts of mathematical scientists working in clean energy projects, kind and gentle introductions to clean energy systems and mathematical tools, graduate student presentations, and panel discussions on topics such as challenges in clean energy. The goal of…

The CanaDAM conference series is devoted to all aspects of discrete and algorithmic mathematics. A meeting has been held in each odd-numbered year since 2007. The intent of these conferences is to provide a strong conference to fill the years in which the SIAM conference in Discrete Mathematics does not take place, and to showcase Canadian research in this area of mathematics. The conference enjoys representation and plenary talks on a wide variety of topics in discrete and algorithmic mathematics,…

Special Session on “Categorical Approaches to Geometry and Topology” during the 2019 Summer Meeting of the Canadian Mathematical Society
This session will highlight research that uses category theory to make progress in various areas of geometry and topology. Particularly, we plan to have speakers on topological data analysis, homotopy type theory, topological complexity and robotics, synthetic differential geometry, and orbifolds and groupoids.

Borders in public health and mathematical epidemiology
Most research in Mathematical Epidemiology focuses on infectious disease characteristics within local, isolated populations and geographic regions. However, infectious diseases are not confined to small regions. They cross borders, affecting multiple populations, jurisdictions, and governments. This workshop aims to foster mathematical models of infectious diseases across borders and at the intersection of mathematics and public health. An important component of this workshop is the inclusion of infectious disease modellers that work in local, federal, and global health organizations. The workshop…

Open quantum systems
This course is concerned with the behaviour quantum systems under the influence of external noise. The theory describes generic noise induced features, such as decoherence, entanglement, thermalization. They are of core interest in applications in various branches of science: in quantum information and computation, chemistry, material sciences and even in biology. Basic familiarity with this theory is a good (and necessary) foundation for a more advanced understanding of most modern quantum sciences. The course will be taught by Marco Merkli…
