Sydney Mathematical Research Institute (SMRI)

We have an unusual opportunity for a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Pure and Applied Maths, with time to be spent at both Sydney Mathematical Research Institute (SMRI) and Princeton University. More information and other criteria are available here: https://lnkd.in/gbAqdYpe

We are very much looking forward to hosting this public lecture in January in conjunction with Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute for #AMSISS25. Registrations are open now! https://lnkd.in/gzUJcZmh

We welcome applications for two 3-year postdoctoral positions in representation theory and related topics, to work with Professor Geordie Williamson at the Sydney Mathematical Research Institute (SMRI). Please feel free to circulate these opportunities to suitable candidates in your network. Applications close November 5th.

📢 Applications are now open for the Australian AI Safety Forum 2024! Join us on 7th-8th November in Sydney for this inaugural Australian AI Safety event as we bring together researchers, policymakers, and industry leaders to shape Australia's role in AI safety and governance. Hosted at the Sydney Knowledge Hub, this interdisciplinary forum will feature keynote speeches from world-leading experts in AI Safety, alongside panels and workshops to explore Australia's contributions to global AI safety efforts. Apply now to secure your spot and be part of the conversation on safeguarding the future of AI. 🔗 Apply here: https://aisafetyforum.au/ In partnership with Sydney Knowledge Hub University of Sydney Gradient Institute Timaeus Sydney Mathematical Research Institute (SMRI) #AISafety #AIGovernance #AIResearch

Does a knot remain intact when you pull on the ends of the cord, or does it unravel?  This problem would leave most of us in a bind but that’s unlikely to be the case for world-leading mathematician and Academy Fellow Professor Geordie Williamson. It’s one of the mathematical problems he’ll be tackling with the support of Artificial Intelligence, thanks to Max Planck-Humboldt Research Award.  Professor Williamson, who is based at the Sydney Mathematical Research Institute (SMRI) becomes the first Australian to receive the award from the Max Planck Society and the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/g7gwH2MR Geordie was elected an Academy Fellow in 2018—becoming the Academy’s youngest living Fellow—and was awarded the Academy’s Christopher Heyde Medal in 2019.

Geordie Williamson receives the Max Planck Humboldt Research Award 2024 The Max Planck-Humboldt Research Award from the Max Planck Society and the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, endowed with 1.5 million euros, goes to Geordie Williamson, Professor at the Sydney Mathematical Research Institute (SMRI) (University of Sydney) . Williamson uses artificial intelligence (AI) for his fundamental work in mathematics. The prizewinner will cooperate closely with the mathematics at the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn in this field. Catharina Stroppel from the HCM and the Mathematical Institute at the University of Bonn is the future host for Geordie Williamson. The joint project is entitled “Computation and AI of mathematical discovery”. “The collaboration will enable us to advance research in theoretical mathematics guided by artificial intelligence,” says Catharina Stroppel. AI should help to recognize new structures in mathematics, make predictions and be able to make mathematical conjectures, says the scientist, who is looking forward to working with the award winner. “A lot of know-how in the field of computer algebra and programming will come to Bonn - and we will contribute our mathematical expertise to the project.” More: https://lnkd.in/eBxPxwF7 Picture: (c) Swen Pförtner / MPG
