CMS Winter Meeting December 2025 (Chelsea Hotel, Toronto): Attended sessions of various speakers, with a higher focus on the panels hosted by the Commutative Algebra and Algebraic Geometry groups, which were run by the McMaster faculty. Also attended sessions hosted by the Topology and Number Theory groups. Topics covered included toric ideals of graphs, Neural ideals, D-extremal ideals, Polypytch varieties, Wronski maps, and Greene-Howie Theorem.

Route 81 September 2025 (Queen's University, Kingston): 2 days of talks regarding topics from Commutative Algebra and Algebraic Geometry, such as Quiver loci and pipe dreams, Artin-Schelter algebras, and weighted cactus groups.

Séminaire de Mathématiques Supérieures (SMS) June 2025 : An Introduction to Recent Trends in Commutative Algebra (Fields Institute, Toronto): A 2-week summer school for grad students that examine recent work in commutative algebra. Topics covered included homological methods, characteristic p methods, computational methods in commutative algebra, and Gröbner Geometry.

Thematic Program in Commutative Algebra and Applications (Fields Institute, Toronto): A series of workshops, lectures, and events examining topics related to commutative algebra. I attended the Graduate Course: Computational commutative algebra and computational algebraic geometry with Dr. Mike Stillman, the Distinguished Lecture Series by Dr. Bernd Sturmfels, the Coxeter Lecture Series by Dr. Irena Peeva, and several of the open talks from the Workshop on the Applications of Commutative Algebra.

Combinatorial Algebra Meets Algebraic Combinatorics January 2025 (Fields Institute, Toronto): An annual series of workshops examining topics in commutative algebra and algebraic geometry. Topics covered included probability in nonlinear algebra, Lefschetz properties, and homological algebra.

Diversity in the Mathematical Sciences Summer 2024 (Dalhousie University, Halifax): This was a one week summer school focusing on Commutative Algebra geared towards upper year female students interested in pursuing grad school. Topics covered included simplicial complexes, Hilbert functions, edge ideals, computational commutative algebra, and discrete homotopy theory. We were also introduced to the computing software Macaulay2.
