Keynote Presentation

On the Visual Imagination

Professor Robert Ghrist, University of Pennsylvania

This will be an entertaining tour through the use of visualization in the intersection between topological and educational endeavors; a meditation on the role of both static and dynamic visualization; and the primacy of the visual imagination for spurring developments.

Speaker

Robert Ghrist (Ph.D., Cornell, Applied Mathematics, 1995) is the Andrea Mitchell PIK Professor of Mathematics and Electrical & Systems Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania. He is a recognized leader in the field of Applied Algebraic Topology, working in sensor networks, robotics, signal processing, data analysis, optimization, and more. He is an award-winning researcher, teacher, and expositor of Mathematics and its applications. In his spare time, he enjoys animation and video production.
