TDA seminar – Fall 2023

Welcome to the Topological Data Analysis seminar!


Location: LIT 368

Time: Monday, 10:40am – 11:30am (period 4)


The primary purpose of this seminar is to discuss and learn different TDA topics and to present papers on the subject in a non-formal setting. A secondary purpose is to improve our ability to communicate and present research in a low-stakes setting. Our meetings have two components: a ~20 minute presentation by the speaker, followed by ~30 minutes of discussion.
