The community around geometric statistics – its theory, application, and computation – is growing both in numbers and in breadth. This ranges from increasing interaction with related research communities such as manifold statistics, topological data analysis, and geometric machine learning to fertilization of the applied sciences such as biostructure and biomedical modeling and imaging.
This dual trimester program will foster and expand interactions among the above disciplines within the mathematical sciences. The focus will be on the following six topics:
- Geometric structure of data objects and suitable spaces,
- Stochastic analysis on manifolds and singular spaces,
- Statistical behavior and geometry,
- Applied topology,
- Non-Euclidean learning,
- Computational methods for all of the topics listed above.

Trimester Program Events:
Each week of the Trimester Program includes numerous activities, such as a seminar series, lecture series, reading courses and so on. In addition, there are some major events, three workshops and one summer school. The workshops are aimed at people who are participants in the Trimester Program at that time. It is not possible to apply only for these workshops. The Summer School is aimed at early-career researchers, especially PhD students and postdocs. There is a separate application platform for this event, which can be found on the School's event page.
