Description
The past decade has seen a remarkable growth in the use of algebraic topology across the sciences, especially in the life sciences; with notable impact in genomics, proteomics, neuroscience, cancer research, epidemiology, and ecology. These advances have relied on the interplay between algebraic topology and statistics, network science, machine learning, and numerical computational methods. Moreover, recently we have witnessed powerful interactions between homotopy theory and computer science, resulting in univalent foundations and homotopy type theory, and more specifically advancements towards automated theorem proving via AI.
This meeting will provide a unique platform to highlight these diverse research directions and the full spectrum of interdisciplinary connections in algebraic topology, from deep theoretical developments to practical scientific applications. By bringing together leading experts across theory and application, the conference aims to advance both foundational knowledge and impactful interdisciplinary research.
