Abstract

Imagine spending eight-weeks on the beautiful Brown University campus in historic Providence, RI, working in a small team setting to solve mathematical research problems developed by faculty experts in their fields.

Imagine creating career-building connections between peers, near peers (graduate students and postdocs), and academic professionals.

Imagine spending your summer in a fun, memorable, and intellectually stimulating environment.

Now, imagine having this experience with support for travel within the U.S., room and board paid, plus a $3,000 stipend*.

The 2017 Summer@ICERM program is designed for a select group of 16-20 undergraduate scholars. The program will give undergraduates an opportunity for exposure and research in the methods of “Applied Topology” in the study of complex data sets.

The program will offer mini-courses for students at the beginning of the program. The faculty advisors will then present several research projects that are highly interdisciplinary and represent areas where topological data analysis stands to have a deep and meaningful impact. Tackling these projects will require a combination of analytical and computational approaches, and students will be expected to gain intuition into some of these problems via analysis, computer experimentation, and visualization.

Throughout the eight-week program, students will work on their assigned projects in groups of two to four, supervised by faculty advisors and aided by teaching assistants. Students will meet daily, attend mini-courses, learn how to write reports in LaTeX, give weekly team talks about their findings, attend professional development seminars, and write up their research into a poster and/or paper by the end of the program.

ICERM provides an excellent research environment, and the students and their faculty and TA mentors will have access to shared offices and collaborative space throughout the institute. They also will have access to ICERM’s computer facilities and specialized software. ICERM staff will provide logistical support for students and will help build community through fun activities and events.

Mini-Courses
Mini-Course 1: Theoretical Aspects of Computational Topology

Lecturer: Sara Kališnik Verovšek

Description: This course is devoted to theoretical foundations of computational topology. We will start with a short overview of the field and show some applications that students will learn more about by the end of the class. We will define simplicial complexes, homology groups, discuss triangulations of point clouds and learn the theory behind one of the most popular tools in applied topology, persistent homology.

Mini-Course 2: Computational Topology

Lecturer: Henry Adams

Description: This course is an introduction to computational topology, and we motivate the course topics with recent applications of topology. The rst application is to data analysis: the shape of a dataset often re ects important patterns within. Two such datasets with interesting shapes are a space of 3x3 pixel patches from optical images, which can be well-modeled by a Klein bottle, and the conformation space of the cyclo-octane molecule, which is a Klein bottle glued to a 2-sphere along two circles of singularities. We introduce homology as a way to measure the number of holes in a topological space, and persistent homology as a way to measure the number of holes in a dataset.

Mini-Course 3: Distances Between Metric Spaces and Applications

Lecturer: Facundo Mémoli

Description: This course is an introduction to Metric Geometry and applications. Of particular importance will be the definition and properties of the so called Gromov-Hausdorff distance between metric spaces and applications to shape and data analysis and matching. We'll also look into the setting of directed/asymmetric networks.

Mini-Course 4: Topological Time Series Analysis

Lecturer: Jose Perea

Description: Time varying observations are ubiquitous in today's data rich world; examples include real- valued time series (like sounds and temperature measurements), video data (thought of as ordered sequences of image frames) and dynamic networks (again, ordered sequences of graphs).
