Sabbatical Activities (20014-15)

I was on sabbatical from July 1, 2014 to June 30, 2015. You can see what I did below.

Queen's Algebraic Geometry Seminar (Kingston, ON)

• I gave a talk at Queen's University in the Algebraic Geomtry Seminar. My talk was held on October 6, 2014.

AMS Special Session (Halifax, NS)

• I attended the Special Session on Commutative Algebra and Its Interactions with Algebraic Geometry. I gave a talk on circulant edge ideals. The conference was from Oct. 18-19, 2014.

  Here's a picture of me at Dalhousie:

  

  While at Dalhousie, Tai Ha and I re-created a picutre of us from 15 years ago.

  

Redeemer College University (Ancaster, ON)

• On November 7, I gave a talk in Kevin Vander Meulen's undergraduate graph theory course.

CMS Special Session (Hamilton, ON)

• With Tony Geramita, I organized a special session on commutative algebra at the Canadian Mathematical Socieity Winter Meeting. You can see more about this session on my web page. This conference will be held from Dec. 5-8, 2014.

Combinatorial algebra meets algebraic combinatorics (Kingston, ON)

• I attend the 12th iteration of the conference Combinatorial algebra meets algebraic combinatorics. This year's meeting was held at Queen's University.

Oberwolfach (Germany)

• I attended the Mini-Workshop: Ideals of Linear Subspaces, Their Symbolic Powers and Waring Problems in February 2015 at MFO in Germany. Here's a group shot of all the participants.
  

Genoa (Italy)

• I attended a PhD defense as an external committee member at the math department at the University of Genoa. I was in Genoa during the last week of February. Here I am in front of the math building.
