We are pleased to announce the event "Introduction to Topological Data
Analysis" to be held from February 20-28, 2026 at the FC Kohli Center,
Chennai Mathematical Institute. This event is part of OneMath World School
<https://www.birs.ca/announcements/2025-05-28/Onemath-World-School>, a BIRS
<https://www.birs.ca/> initiative and the first of its kind.
This program offers a practical, hands-on introduction to TDA methods with
an emphasis on real-world applications. It is designed for Master's and PhD
students, postdocs, and early-career researchers in Mathematics and
Computer Science interested in exploring this emerging field.
Program Highlights
-
Boot Camp (Feb 20–21): Basics of classification algorithms, Python
coding, and applied topology
-
Mini Courses (Feb 23–26): Persistent homology, Mapper algorithm,
topological machine learning, and applications
-
Group Projects (Feb 27–28): Real-world problems in image analysis, time
series, and robotics
