[DMANET] Fulkerson 100 workshop: University of Waterloo (Jul 17-19, 2024)

The Dept. of Combinatorics & Optimization (C&O) at the University of Waterloo is hosting a 3-day research workshop, Fulkerson 100, from July 17-19, 2024 (https://www.math.uwaterloo.ca/~fulkerson100/) in honor of Ray Fulkerson's centenary year of birth. Fulkerson was one of the leading figures in combinatorial optimization, and his seminal work has had a profound and lasting impact in shaping the fields of combinatorial optimization and Operations Research.
(This is the Wed-Fri of the week right before ISMP 2024 in Montreal.)

The workshop will feature invited talks (https://www.math.uwaterloo.ca/~fulkerson100/invited.html) by distinguished researchers in the areas of graph theory, combinatorics, optimization, and theoretical computer science (TCS). It will also feature lightning talks and a poster session to showcase research by students and postdocs. We hope to bring together a wide variety of researchers in discrete mathematics, while (implicitly) commemorating Fulkerson's vision and contributions.

We welcome you to join us for this event.

The link for registration is here: https://www.math.uwaterloo.ca/~fulkerson100/registration.html.
As part of registration, students and postdocs can indicate whether they would like to present a lightning talk and poster at the event. (There is some limited funding to help support the participation of students and postdocs who are in need.)

Please contact fulkerson100@uwaterloo.ca, or one of the organizers, regarding any questions.

Organizers: Joseph Cheriyan, Bertrand Guenin, and Chaitanya Swamy (Chair, C&O)
