PIMS Postdoctoral Summit

PIMS postdoctoral research fellows are invited to the 2025 PIMS Postdoctoral Summit at the University of Calgary on April 28th. Connect with peers, share research experiences, and explore career mentorship opportunities.

The PIMS mandate is to promote excellent research and applications of the mathematical sciences, to facilitate the training of highly qualified personnel, to create an equitable, diverse and inclusive community in the mathematical sciences, to enrich public awareness of and education in mathematics and to create partnerships with similar organizations around the world.

Upcoming Events

We will give an exposition on the recent progress in the study of unimodal sequences, beginning with the work of Isaac Newton and then to the contemporary papers of June Huh. We will also relate this topic to the Riemann hypothesis. In the process...

The Simplex method for solving linear programs (LPs) is one of the most widely used LP solvers due to the fact that it runs very quickly in practice. However, despite its practical efficiency and decades of study, it remains unknown whether or not it...

WAGS aims to build a regional community among algebraic geometers of all career stages, from advanced undergraduates to full professors. The meetings are centered around research talks delivered by leading mathematicians from around the world...

Talks & Discussions We invite each postdoctoral fellow to present a 25-minute talk on their research, an influential project, or an open problem they hope to tackle in the future. Unlike traditional seminar or conference talks, this session is...

The mathematics of origami, or paper folding, raises rich questions in combinatorics and computational geometry, particularly related to flat-foldability: given a crease pattern, represented as a planar graph, and an assignment of mountains and...

Plenary Talk Abstracts De-clawing graph theory (Stephanie van Willigenburg) This talk requires no prior knowledge and will be a gentle introduction to colouring graphs, suitable for a broad audience including students. We will start with some...
