I am also the coach of the CSU Putnam team, 2015-present.
Where can I find resources if I am interested in applied topology?
- You may be interested in the Applied Algebraic Topology Research Network. Become a member to receive email invites to the online research seminars. Recorded talks are available at the YouTube Channel. There is also a forum.
- Another source of applied topology news is appliedtopology.org
- Mailing lists with announcements in applied topology include WinCompTop and ALGTOP-L.
Conferences for graduate students
It's important for graduate students to keep their eyes open for conferences they want to attend, for example by subscribing to the mailing lists above. A good place to look for conferences is at the math institutes, such as the following, where you are often able to apply for travel funding: ICERM, MSRI, IMA, IPAM, Mathematical Problems in Industry (MPI) Workshop.
