Funding for Danai Deligeorgaki from the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation. She will spend her postdoctoral time with @aidadoesmath.bsky.social and Heather Harrington @math-mpicbg.bsky.social at the @mpi-cbg.de & @csbdresden.bsky.social. Congratulations! 🎉 www.mpi-cbg.de/news-outreac...

Joining us at the retreat, and soon also as a postdoc in @aidadoesmath.bsky.social’s group is Carlotta Langer talking about information-theoretic complexity measures in the context of integrated information theory. Madly interesting stuff.

Highlights to come from Brunów, Poland, but here we all are! All current and upcoming members. A wonderful couple of days getting to know more about each others’ work. All three groups together: @haharrington.bsky.social, Türkü Özlüm Çelik, and @aidadoesmath.bsky.social 🩵🩵🩵

Welcoming @aidadoesmath.bsky.social’s guest Skye Rothstein from MPI for Mathematics in the Sciences last night with some beautiful Turkish food. Yesterday he gave a wonderful talk on the topology of polyminoids in CSBD

Last few pics from the Algebraic Statistics conference in Munich! Jane Coons, Oskar Henriksson, Elizabeth Gross, Max Weismann, and Karel Devriendt all gave talks 👌🏼

HFSP @hfspo.bsky.social Early Career Grant Award for @ritamateus.bsky.social and collaborators to uncover crystal formation inside cells. Congratulations! 🎉 www.mpi-cbg.de/news-outreac...

Danai Deligeorgaki receives the prestigious Swedish Knut and Alice Wallenberg grant with @mpi-cbg.de, @math-mpicbg.bsky.social as host institution. We are very enthusiastic to welcome Danai in Dresden and work with her on her research project goals! kaw.wallenberg.org/en/danai-del...

Happy International Women’s Day!

Summer #internships in cell, developmental, and systems #biology, #biophysics, #mathematics (and more) @mpicbg.bsky.social @mpipks.bsky.social. Applications are open now: www.imprs-celldevosys.de/join/interns.... Join us in #Dresden over the summer!

The numerical nonlinear algebra workshop, organized by @math-mpicbg.bsky.social, took place at the @mpicbg.bsky.social from February 3-6, 2025. It featured biology, chemistry, and physics with a focus on nonlinear modeling problems and techniques. News article: www.csbdresden.de/news-events/...

A computation that took us over 8 hours now only takes 15 seconds with tropical geometry! Very excited that Oskar Henriksson will join the algebra in data analysis (AIDA) group @mpicbg.bsky.social @tudresden.bsky.social

Get excited to hear our two keynote speakers, Kyne Santos and ila varma, talk about “Math in Drag” and “Mathematics for the People” at the 5th annual OURFA2M2 conference this weekend! It’s not too late to register! For more information and to register for the event visit ourfa2m2.org

Aida describing work on toric geometry in Brownian Motion Tree models

Aida Maraj, a new mathematics group leader here @mpicbg.bsky.social and CSBD

Simon visualising linear spaces under the cosine map during his talk about Chebyshev varieties

Dmitrii spoke about the Gibbs manifold and some properties of the Gibbs variety - the zero locus of all polynomials that vanish on the Gibbs manifold

Georgy showing us how he uses polynomial approximations for global optimisation over a compact domain @georgysch.bsky.social

Irem presented nonlinear algebraic methods to compute generalised notions of Nash equilibria

Fabian spoke about the algebra and combinatorics underpinning coupled cluster theory for quantum many-body systems

Viktoriia presented homotopy continuation methods for solving 0-dimensional polynomial systems, with applications in nonlinear dynamics and computing approximate solutions to the electronic Schrödinger equation in coupled cluster theory

Oskar is joining the AIDA group here at CBG soon - today he spoke about tropical methods for making numerical calculations to polynomial systems certifiable, with some very cool speedups in computation 😎

Oskar Henriksson from the University of Copenhagen

Ivo describing the group’s use of live microscopy videos to understand and predict dynamic processes like tissue morphogenesis using PDEs and some sophisticated computing mosaicgroup.bsky.social

Torkel giving examples of real world systems that can be modelled using chemical reaction networks, and introducing Catalyst.jl, a Julia package to build these models

Ada showing us computation times for HypersurfaceRegions.jl, her Julia package for computing all connected components in the complement of an arrangement of real algebraic hypersurfaces

Introducing Silviana Amethyst, numerical algebraic geometer and workshop organiser

The @math-mpicbg.bsky.social math community @math-mpicbg.bsky.social, including @haharrington.bsky.social and group leaders Türkü Özlüm ÇELİK & Aida Maraj organized the numerical (nonlinear) algebra workshop, which is currently happening. It features topics through biology, chemistry, and physics.

Applications are open for ELBE #postdoc fellowships @mpicbg.bsky.social @mpipks.bsky.social at the Center for Systems Biology Dresden! These are FANTASTIC opportunities for independent, interdisciplinary work in #biophysics, systems biology, ... Deadline: 14th February 2025!
