Scientific, Seminar
UCalgary Peripatetic Seminar: Priyaa Srinivasan
July 21, 2023
University of Calgary
A classical Electrical Engineering problem is to determine whether two networks of resistors are equivalent. The standard solution is to use a process of eliminating internal nodes (the star/mesh transformation) which may be seen as a rewriting...

North America Machine Learning, Optimization and Statistics Symposium
June 23–25, 2023
Simon Fraser University
The objective of this conference is to bring together researchers, postdoctoral fellows, recent graduates in the fields of statistics, machine learning and optimization to foster collaboration, exchange ideas, and promote the advancement of research...
Scientific, Distinguished Lecture
PIMS-SFU-CNRS Guest Lecture: Raphaël Chétrite
June 20, 2023
Simon Fraser University
Martingales are perhaps best known as a gambling strategy of repeatedly doubling the stakes of a bet, in the hope that eventually a single win will cover previous losses and return a profit. In physics, though little known, martingales are also...
Scientific, Conference
PIMS Workshop in Mathematical Physics at Heidelberg University
June 12–16, 2023
Heidelberg, Germany
From June 12 to 16, 2023, the Mathematical Physics group in the Mathematisches Institut at Universität Heidelberg, will host a workshop on topics at the intersection of physics and pure mathematics, focused special emphasis on algebra, representation...
Scientific, Conference
USaskatchewan-PIMS-CANSSI Prairies Data Science Boot Camp
June 8–17, 2023
University of Saskatchewan
The Data Science Bootcamp is primarily intended for graduate-level students with a research interest in data science, although the Bootcamp will also appeal to senior undergraduate students who have an interest in pursuing academic studies in this...
Scientific, Seminar
The PIMS Postdoctoral Fellow Seminar: Xiaowen Zhu
June 7, 2023
Online
Topological insulators are materials that exhibit unique physical properties due to their non-trivial topological order. One of the most notable consequences of this order is the presence of protected edge states as well as closure of bulk spectral...
Scientific, Seminar
UWashington Distinguished Seminar in Optimization and Data: Ting-Kei Pong
June 5, 2023
University of Washington
A linear conic programming problem aims at minimizing a linear objective over the intersection of an affine set and a closed convex cone. The conic feasibility problems we study in this talk naturally arise from the optimality conditions of linear...

June 5–8, 2023
Winnipeg, Manitoba
This is the registration page for CanaDAM. The ninth biennial Canadian Discrete and Algorithmic Mathematics conference (CanaDAM) will be held in downtown Winnipeg, jointly hosted by the University of Manitoba and the University of Winnipeg. more...
Scientific, Conference
Statistical Data Science Conference
June 3–4, 2023
University of British Columbia
In the era of big data, we have access to massive information consisting of useful signals and a large proportion of noise. It is critical to make sense of big data. Statistics play a vital role, such as planning an efficient experiment to collect...
