Western International Workshop on Harmonic Analysis and PDE
Speakers
Details
The workshop will gather senior researchers, postdoctoral fellows and related collaborators, and graduate students mainly from universities in western Canada and USA. The great distances between the higher education institutions in this region result in less frequent interchanges and not very fluid dialogue among experts with common interests. It is necessary to incite and support the conversation between researchers and students from the University of Washington, the University of British Columbia, Simon Frasier University, University of Alberta, and the University of Calgary, and other higher education institutions in this geographical area, by creating a space for meeting and talking, like this proposed workshop. We also plan to invite a few internationally recognized leaders in these fields from the US and Europe to teach the mini-courses or deliver survey lectures.
