Pro-Doc Seminar WS 19/20


What is it?

In short the idea of the seminar is to

  • have talks by PhD students for PhD students from both Frankfurt and Darmstadt (Post-Docs are welcome as spectators),
  • have each of you introduce their own topics and area of research to the rest of us (feel free to interpret this as broadly as you wish, e.g. you could be talking about your current or past research projects, do an introduction to the techniques or theories you use, or give an impression of your favorite mathematical objects, etc.)
  • keep all the talks super well-understandable for everyone (don’t show off: all of us are seriously interested in the math you are working on!)
  • learn about the research topics floating around in our departments 
  • find out what other people are working on and who might become a collaborator of yours in the future (reading this paper and all of a sudden a Berkovich skeleton is popping up? Don’t know who could give you a quick intro to these things? Come to the Pro-Doc seminar and find out!)
  • and finally: grow together as a research group.

All of this will take place during the semester time on Monday evenings starting around 17:00, following the DaFra format (one session every second week, alternating between Darmstadt and Frankfurt, two talks per session, 1 hour per talk). The timeslot is somewhat unfortunate but we will turn it into an advantage: no coffee break but rather pizza dinner is the plan! We will order stuff to eat between the talks -- yes, its for free -- and we willmake sure there is plenty of time to meet each other and discuss your own math, recap past and speculate about future Pro-Doc talks, or challenge the speaker you just heard to build a bridge from his/her talk to whatever. It’s meant to be easy going and is supposed to be a great learning opportunity for all of us. Oh, and asking lots of questions is mandatory!

The only thing that is left to make the seminar happen are the speakers. We have twelve slots for talks to fill. If you want to entertain us with some awesome math, just send me an e-mail. You should also send me stuff like titles and abstracts as soon as you have it ready, but this is not urgent.

Any questions? Just ask me or Sara (lamboglia@math.uni-frankfurt.de)! Hope to get all of you together for this, it will be a lot of fun!
