We also anticipate the following in-person speakers visiting SIMIS this year (with exact dates of the talks/lectures yet to be defined):
Mikhail Khovanov (Johns Hopkins University), room 1610
Daniel Pomerleano (Boston University), room 1610
Andrei Okounkov (Columbia University), room 1610
Mohammed Abouzaid (Stanford University), room 1610, who will be delivering a special lecture series in SIMIS (3 lectures, between the end of May and the beginning of June 2025) [updated Jan. 19]
In-person talks are usually Russian-style, encouraging active interaction between speaker and audience, in which case the seminar oftentimes runs for up to 3 hours, with an intermediate break taken at a suitable time. Please note that, during lecture period, room 1610 will only be used for talks taking place in late afternoon (as also specified above), in order to avoid any inconvenience to prescheduled timetables.
Remote participation is available for this seminar series. For those wishing to join the mailing list to receive the Zoom link, please email the seminar’s organiser: veronica-pasquarella@simis.cn
