The interaction between harmonic analysis and convex geometry has been strong for a long time. However, in recent years new methods were developed that caused a steep rise in productivity of this cooperation. This workshop will include series of lectures introducing the participants to Fourier methods in geometric tomography, Bellman techniques for extremal problems of harmonic analysis, volume and duality, and computational aspects of the subject.
