Developments in the Mathematical Sciences - DIMS 2025

Founded almost 30 years ago, the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences is one of two mathematics institutes within the Max Planck Society, an internationally renowned and leading society for basic research in Germany and beyond. Our fundamental mission is to conduct cutting-edge research in mathematics. Our connection to the sciences includes both the application of mathematical tools and concepts and also the condensation of scientific questions into fruitful mathematical problems.

We see it as our mission to presenting the diversity of fascinating developments in mathematics even beyond the current scientific scope of the institute. To this end, we have established the "Developments in the Mathematical Sciences" conference series, which aims to provide insights into the latest developments.

After 2019 and 2021, this is the third conference in this series. We want to discuss current trends and get an overview of today's mathematical landscape – especially with regard to the label "mathematics in the sciences". Speakers will motivate their work and place it in a general context. The talks will be accessible to mathematicians from a wide range of backgrounds. There will be plenty of time for questions and informal interaction.

Speakers:

  • Nalini Anantharaman (University of Strasbourg)
  • Bjoern Bringmann (Institute of Advanced Study)
  • Elisenda Feliu (University of Copenhagen)
  • Mikolaj Fraczyk (Jagiellonian University)
  • Javier Gómez-Serrano (Brown University)
  • Massimiliano Gubinelli (University of Oxford)
  • Nina Holden (New York University)
  • Anton Mellit (University of Vienna)
  • Emmy Murphy (University of Toronto)
  • Nicolas Perkowski (Freie Universität Berlin)
  • Alessandro Pigati (Università Bocconi)
  • Stefan Steinerberger (University of Washington)
  • Floris van Doorn (University of Bonn)
  • Yilin Wang (Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques)
  • Melanie Weber (Harvard College)
