\"people<\/p>\n

The University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> at M\u0101noa hosted two mathematics research workshops in July, which attracted dozens of PhD<\/abbr> students and mathematicians from around the world.<\/p>\n

The workshops were organized by the Department of Mathematics<\/a> and funded by National Science Foundation (NSF<\/abbr>) CAREER grants<\/a>, which are designed to support early-career faculty who have the potential to serve as academic role models in research and education. The events also gave 东精影业<\/abbr> students an opportunity to participate in the types of workshops usually held elsewhere.<\/p>\n

Geometric group theory<\/h2>\n

\"people<\/p>\n

Assistant Professor Yash Lodha led a workshop to train graduate students interested in pursuing a research program in geometric group theory. Groups are mathematical abstractions of symmetries (of an abstract space or a physical object), and play a fundamental role in many areas of mathematics, physics and computer science.<\/p>\n

The workshop featured four mini courses by international researchers and five additional research talks, including one by Ashlee Kalauli, a mathematician and faculty at Hawaiʻi<\/span> Community College. Participants received travel and housing support through a stipend provided by Lodha\u2019s NSF<\/abbr> CAREER award.<\/p>\n
