Many of the words that we use to describe biological disease are often also used to describe cyber systems (e.g. virus, infected). The overall goal of my research in this area is to see how far we can push this metaphor and what we can learn about...

Intersection theory studies the Chow ring, an algebraic structure whose elements correspond to subvarieties of a variety X, with the ring product reflecting the intersection of subvarieties in X. Thanks to the foundational work of Fulton and...

Lipschitz transport maps between two measures are useful tools for transferring analytical properties, such as functional inequalities. The most well-known result in this field is Caffarelli’s contraction theorem, which shows that the optimal...

The Spring Time in Mathematical Quantum Physics workshop gathers leading experts and emerging researchers to explore analytical and topological aspects of many-body quantum mechanics. Discussions will cover topics such as the effective macroscopic...

ELMACON is an annual math contest for students in grades 5, 6, and 7. Students tackle hard mathematical questions in an competitive environment to determine who will take home trophies and prizes. The contest is designed to be challenging but fun. It...

In the rich landscape of algebraic varieties, moduli spaces stand out as some of the most enchanting varieties, capturing the imagination of algebraic geometers with their profound elegance and deep connections to other branches of mathematics...

What is the SRP? The UBC Mathematics Summer Reading Program (SRP) connects small groups of first-year and second-year undergraduates with a graduate student or postdoctoral mentor for to learn some advanced mathematics beyond the undergraduate...

Plenary Talk Abstracts De-clawing graph theory (Stephanie van Willigenburg) This talk requires no prior knowledge and will be a gentle introduction to colouring graphs, suitable for a broad audience including students. We will start with some...

The mathematics of origami, or paper folding, raises rich questions in combinatorics and computational geometry, particularly related to flat-foldability: given a crease pattern, represented as a planar graph, and an assignment of mountains and...
