This beautiful mathematical story was a highlight of the week for sure! Thanks Rob Silversmith!

Great talk by Joseph Maher this week! youtube.com/watch?v=RaKc_a…

Last Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) Groups & Dynamics Seminar talk of the year . It's been lovely! youtu.be/Q9Y1AReegNg?si…

Among last week's IAS shenanigans was trying to reenact an Oppenheimer scene with Professor Flores. I chose to asssume that in reality there was actually a dog present in that moment of history,

I'm excited that I'll be spending 2 months at l'Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques - IHES in Orsay (right outside Paris) Spring 2026!

In other news posh travel news, I'm giving a mini-course in Hawaii at the end of the month: sites.google.com/hawaii.edu/sum…

It's somehow not the most flattering video of me, but here I am talking about talking about simplicial complexes at the Institute: youtube.com/watch?v=nhcmRF…

Catherine Eva Pfaff (Catherine PFAFF, PhD (she/her)), Member in the School of Mathematics (2024–25), discusses the ways in which geometric group theorists and theoretical computer scientists at IAS approach mathematical constructions and learn from one another: youtu.be/nhcmRFZKRh4

🚨 PhD opportunity! I’m recruiting a PhD student with a strong background in math/stats/CS to join my group at NTU Singapore 🇸🇬 Start: Jan or Aug 2026 Topic: Foundations of Epistemic Uncertainty in ML 🧠🔍 📌 Details: chau999.github.io/group/ RT appreciated!

Always wonderful to see a former student thriving & sharing that they'll be at your location! Howie Hong at IAS!

Something extraordinary for me about Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) is the intergenerationality & inclusion of "wise elders." I will always treasure the special bond Pierre & I developed with the greatests of greats, Karen Uhlenbeck. Our many meals, math & life conversations, something very special...

I'm in Hawaii this week giving a minicourse! sites.google.com/hawaii.edu/sum…
