Seminar Organisation

Informal Thursday Seminars (2025) 

The aim of this seminar is to introduce students and staff to key concepts from accross mathematics. Topics we have explored included Poincare Conjecture, Hadamard Conjecture, Willmore Conjecture, Jones Polynomial, and How Many Animals Really Live in Your House?

Zoom Lecture Series on Weil Conjectures (Semesters I, 2023) 

This Zoom Lecture Series aimed to give a historical introduction to the Weil conjectures for Australian students. For more, see the dedicated website. 

Zoom Lecture Series: An invitation to representation theory in Farsi (2021) 

This Zoom Lecture Series aimed to give a historical introduction to representation theory for Iranian students. For more, see the website. 

WiSe Seminar (2020-2022)

This Zoom Seminar Series aimed to present a new material each week and be of broad interest. It is motivated by the column of Notices of American Maths Society's colum "What is a ...".  For more see the dedicated website.

QFT Seminar (2013-2019) - University of Queensland 

Upon arrival at the University of Queensland in January 2013, together with some colleagues we started a learning seminar series called the Quantum Field Theory Seminar. Every semester, we choose a topic that we want to cover, and solicitude volunteers to give talks. The topics we have studied include: conformal field theory, affine algebras, Q-systems, Category O, .... The volunteers have arranged from undergraduate students to full professor. See the QFT Seminar Webpage for more details.
