Conference: Topology Students Workshop 2024

该奖项为第7届拓扑学生研讨会（TSW）提供支持，该研讨会将于2024年6月10日至14日在范德比尔特大学举行。这是一个为期五天的研究和专业发展活动，面向几何群论、几何和拓扑学领域的研究生，旨在使研究生接触到广泛的当前研究，并建立他们的沟通、网络和问题分享技能。大约40名研究生将参加，由10名导师指导，他们来自该领域广泛的职业阶段和研究背景。工作坊的专业发展和研究方面是同步进行的，导师在这两个领域都给予指导。研讨会的形式为积极的网络交流和对研究报告的评论提供了充足的时间。TSW的主要目标是a)让研究生接触到广泛的拓扑研究，b)建立他们的沟通、网络和问题分享技能，以及c)在该专业必要但通常未教的方面提供指导。研究部分涵盖几何和拓扑中的广泛主题，包括接触和辛拓扑，3流形，双曲几何，群作用和复杂动力学。专业发展课程包括如何最好地从会议参与中受益，旨在建立学生的信心和研究潜力等主题。该研讨会包括网络和礼仪、求职流程、沟通技巧等结构化课程，以及一场关于职业道路的小组讨论，来自NSA、亚马逊、b谷歌和私立高中等组织的数学家参加了讨论。导师还会给即将开始研究生涯的学生做研究讲座，并提出相关问题建议。会议的网站是http://www.danmargalit.net/tsw24.This，该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，认为值得支持。

This award provides support for the 7th biennial Topology Students Workshop (TSW) that will be held at Vanderbilt University during June 10-14, 2024. This is a five-day research and professional development activity for graduate students in the fields of geometric group theory, geometry, and topology, designed to expose graduate students to a wide range of current research, and to build their communication, networking, and problem-sharing skills. Approximately forty graduate students will participate, guided by ten mentors, who come from a wide range of career stages and research backgrounds within this field. The professional development and research sides of the workshop run in tandem, with mentors giving guidance in both areas. The workshop format devotes ample time for active networking and critiquing of research presentations. The primary goals of TSW are to a) expose graduate students to a wide range of current research in topology, b) build their communication, networking, and problem-sharing skills, and c) give guidance on necessary but typically untaught aspects of the profession. The research portion covers a broad array of topics within geometry and topology including contact and symplectic topology, 3-manifolds, hyperbolic geometry, group actions, and complex dynamics. Professional development sessions include topics such as how best to benefit from conference participation and aim to build confidence and research potential among students. The workshop includes structured sessions on networking and etiquette, the job application process, communication skills, and a panel discussion on career paths that involves mathematicians from organizations such as NSA, Amazon, Google and private high schools. Mentors will also give research talks and suggest relevant problems to students who are embarking on a research career.
