I had relatively few interactions with Michael, but he has made a deep impression. I was always hoping we'd get a chance to collaborate , … Continue reading Michael Cohen

This year Harvard's Center for Mathematical Sciences and Applications is running a special year on combinatorics and complexity. We have many long-term visitors and postdocs, and several events that theoretical computer scientists might wish to take part in, including four workshops: Additive Combinatorics (10/2/2017-10/6/2017); Algebraic Methods in Combinatorics (11/13/2017 -11/17/2017); Probabilistic Methods in Combinatorics (2/5/2018-2/9/2018); and Coding and Information … Continue reading Special year on combinatorics and complexity
