August 21-August 23 : NSF-TRIPODS Postdoc Workshop

Organizers:

• The Institute for Data, Econometrics, Algorithms, and Learning (IDEAL)

This workshop will bring together postdocs from all the different NSF-TRIPODS institutes. Our plan is to have research talks by postdocs, and panel discussions by faculty and industry researchers on career and other issues. We hope this will be a fun and intellectually-stimulating event as well as a chance to build a TRIPODS postdoc community. Panelists include Pranjal Awasthi (Google NYC), Maryam Fazel (U Washington), Abolfazl Hashemi (Purdue), Piotr Indyk (MIT), Ermin Wei (Northwestern), Becca Willett (UChicago), and Steve Wright (UW-Madison).
