Overview
The Ontario Combinatorics Workshop is an annual meeting for researchers working
in combinatorics from Ontario and surrounding areas to gather and share their
latest research developments. The objective of this meeting is to have an
atmosphere conducive to research discussion and collaboration. The setting
of the meeting is informal to provide a friendly environment for students
and post-doctoral fellows to present their results, to exchange ideas, and
to gain exposure to various topics in combinatorics. It is also a place where
students and faculties meet, which may foster future collaborations.
Format
The Ontario Combinatorics Workshop will be a two-day event consisting of three
invited talks and a few sessions contributed talks.
Peter Rodney Memorial Book Prize:
The prize will go to the student who gives the best talk in the workshop in
honour of Dr. Peter Rodney (1965-1995).
Invited speakers:
Aleksandar Jurišic, Professor, Faculty of Computer and Information
Science University of Ljubljana, Slovenia
Kevin Purbhoo Associate Professor, Department of Combinatorial and
Optimization University of Waterloo
Andrew Rechnitzer Associate Professor, Mathematics Department University
of British Columbia
