Conference: Tech Topology Conference at Georgia Tech

该奖项为两届技术拓扑会议提供部分支持，首先是2023年12月8日至10日在亚特兰大佐治亚理工学院举行的会议，这是该系列的第13次会议。这次会议为来自全国各地的拓扑学家提供了一个机会，可以在周末就该领域的最新发展举行会谈。演讲者从国际知名数学家到冉冉升起的年轻新星，根据其成果质量、演讲技巧和对促进多元化和包容性环境的贡献而被挑选出来。会议以长达七个小时的演讲为特色，辅之以三个闪电演讲环节，让初级研究人员有机会就他们的工作进行五分钟的演讲。该日程安排有充足的时间在参与者和发言者之间进行非正式讨论，为指导和合作提供机会。这笔助学金将帮助支付研究生、早期职业研究人员和演讲者的旅费。今年的技术拓扑学会议将集中讨论低维拓扑和接触/辛几何。这两个领域都是非常活跃的研究领域，无论是在东南部还是更远的地方。这次会议是将领先的研究人员带到东南部的一个机会，并突出了该地区初级研究人员最近获得的一些成果。会议组织者将继续在网上张贴讲座笔记，以便向公众提供会议材料。会议的网站可以在http://ttc.gatech.eduThis上找到，该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award provides partial support for two editions of the Tech Topology Conference, beginning with the meeting at Georgia Tech in Atlanta on December 8-10, 2023, the 13th conference in the series. The conference provides an opportunity for topologists from around the country to convene for a weekend of talks on the latest developments in the field. The speakers, selected for the quality of their results, their presentation skills, and their contributions to promoting a diverse and inclusive environment, range from internationally renowned mathematicians to rising young stars. The conference features seven hour-long talks, complemented by three lightning talk sessions, which give junior researchers the opportunity to give a five minute presentation on their work. The schedule includes ample time for informal discussions amongst participants and speakers, providing opportunities for mentorship and collaboration. The grant will help support the travel expenses of graduate students, early career researchers, and speakers.This year's Tech Topology Conference will focus on low-dimensional topology and contact/symplectic geometry. These are both very active fields of research, both in the Southeast and beyond. The conference serves as an opportunity to bring leading researchers to the Southeast and highlight the some of the recent results obtained by junior researchers in the region. The conference organizer will continue posting notes from the talks online in order to make materials from the conference publicly available. The conference website can be found at http://ttc.gatech.eduThis award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
