In case you're in Cambridge, MA on Tue. Dec. 10, I'll give a talk at 4pm (MIT 32-G449) about coboundary expansion in high-dimensional expanders.
It's kind of about group theory, though.

Here is my strategy for attempting well-known open problems in math. Solving the unsolved isn’t just about outgunning the brilliant people who tried before you—it’s about strategy.
The University of Warwick has an opening for an Assistant/Associate Professor in Theoretical Computer Science. Areas of interest include Algorithms, Computational Complexity, and Discrete Mathematics.
Deadline: 26/August. (Please RT)

Tragic news. Luca Trevisan passed away today. The talk he prepared in his final weeks for the TCS4all workshop will be given virtually in his honor on Monday. I hope many of the TCS community can attend.

I have started a new online theory seminar series at TTIC. We have had several amazing speakers talk about their recent breakthrough results in TCS. Check out the recordings here (youtube.com/channel/UCqHmc…).
Avi Wigderson was named the winner of the A.M. Turing Award for his contributions to the theory of computation: “It’s very hard to work in any space in computer science without actually intersecting with Avi’s work.” —Madhu Sudan, computer scientist quantamagazine.org/avi-wigderson-…
Michel Talagrand has been awarded the Abel Prize, one of the highest honors in mathematics, for applying tools from high-dimensional geometry to complex probability problems. @jordanacep reports: quantamagazine.org/michel-talagra…
Salil Vadhan, from @Harvard (currently visiting @Sydney_Uni) will be giving the Basser seminar at #USydCompSci at @Eng_IT_Sydney next Tuesday, on "Differential privacy: from theory to practice and back." Open to all!
