Basic Notions Seminar:
The Centre is running a hybrid seminar on basic notions, which is mainly aimed at PhD students, advanced Masters students, and early PostDocs. Anyone else who is interested is also welcome to join and also to give talks if they'd like, however preference will be given to the mentioned target group.
The main idea of the Basic Notions seminar is to bring together scientists from different backgrounds to give introductory talks on the basic concepts they use on a daily basis. In this way we improve our foundation for interdisciplinary work.
The seminar takes place on Mondays, 10:15 am via Zoom and in IMPAN's room 106.
The meeting ID is 954 3153 7513.
Please contact Julian Brüggemann to get the passcode.
If you would like to give a talk as part of our Basic Notions Seminar please contact Julian Brüggemann.

Mateusz Masłowski: Efficient Techniques for Simulating One-Dimensional Electromagnetic Waves in Vacuum
Abstract: In this talk, we'll delve into the numerical modeling of one-dimensional electromagnetic waves in a vacuum. I'll introduce the basic concepts of Maxwell's equations in a simplified, one-dimensional form and discuss the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method for solving these equations. We'll explore the role of the Green's function in this context, providing a framework for efficiently computing the evolution of electromagnetic fields. As motivation, I'll touch on the importance of electromagnetic wave modeling in applications like wireless communication and data transmission. - 25/11/2024, 10:15,
Jakub Malinowski: Symmetries and crystallography
Abstract: This talk is an introduction to the topic of space/crystallographic groups. During the talk, I will present the definition of space groups and classic Bieberbach theorems. As motivation, I will talk briefly about the use of symmetry in crystallography. - 02/12/2024, 10:15,

John Rick Manzanares: Exploring Centrality in Networks
Abstract: In our interconnected world, the study of networks provides valuable insights into the dynamics of complex systems. This talk will explore some measures of centrality that identify influential elements within networks, examining how we can quantify importance across different network structures. Additionally, we will briefly discuss an interplay between network science and topological data analysis, highlighting how these areas complement each other in understanding network behavior. - 28/10/2024, 10:15
Julian Brüggemann: Discrete Morse Theory and TDA
Abstract: In this talk, we will introduce/recall some basic notions from comtinatorial topology, e.g. cell/ simplicial complexes, face posets, and discrete Morse functions. Moreover, we will discuss possible applications in TDA.
