Richard Ehrenborg has been invited to participate in the Geometric Combinatorics Workshop at the Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics, UCLA in October 2009.
Richard Ehrenborg and Margaret Readdy have been invited to give talks in the AMS special session "Permutations" being organized by Persi Diaconis (Stanford), Ira Gessel (Brandeis) and Richard Stanley (MIT). This is part of the Joint Mathematics Meetings in San Francisco in January 2010.
Richard Ehrenborg and Margaret Readdy are co-organizing the workshop Combinatorics 2010: Advances, Trends and Speculations. This is being held one day before the AMS Spring Southeastern Sectional Meeting being held at the University of Kentucky in late March 2010. At the same meeting, Margaret and Richard are organizing the special session Advances in Algebraic & Geometric Combinatorics, Jakayla Robbins and Xiangqian Zhou (Wright State U) are coorganizing a special session on Matroid Theory and Doron Zeilberger (Rutgers) will be giving the 2010 Erdos Memorial Lecture.
Margaret Readdy will be visiting the University of Washington in February 2009 and giving a talk in the University of Washington Combinatorics Seminar.
Benjamin Braun has been invited to give a talk at the Ulam Centennial Conference in March 2009 in the session on "Ulam and Combinatorics".
The 5th Graduate Student Combinatorics Conference (GSCC 2009) comes to the University of Kentucky! Graduate students Eric Clark, Patricia Muldoon (Chair), JiYoon Jung and DJ Wells are organizing the GSCC 2009. Margaret Readdy is the faculty advisor. It will be held March 27-29, 2009. The confirmed keynote speaker is Richard Stanley (MIT). More information about the conference can be found at www.math.uky.edu/~gscc .
Richard Ehrenborg will be giving a talk in the special session "Applications of Algebraic and Geometric Combinatorics" at the 2009 Spring Southeastern Sectional Meeting at North Carolina State in April 2009.
Richard Ehrenborg will be giving a colloquium talk at George Washington University in April 2009.
Benjamin Braun has been invited to give a talk at the AMS Western Sectional Meeting, Spring 2009, in the special session on "Algebra and Number Theory with Polyhedra".
Benjamin Braun has been invited to participate in the workshop "Combinatorial challenges in toric varieties" in April and May 2009, hosted by the American Institute of Mathematics. His trip will be funded through the AIM Research Conference.
Margaret Readdy is the PI for National Science Foundation grant DMS-0913073 to support participants of the 2009 Graduate Student Combinatorics Conference.
From July 2008 through June 2010, Benjamin Braun is partially supported by the National Science Foundation via award DMS-0758321.
The Institute for Mathematics and its Applications (IMA) has funded Margaret Readdy's proposal for the 2009 Graduate Student Combinatorics Conference.
Benjamin Braun has received MSRI funding to participate in the January 2008 MSRI workshop "Introductory Workshop in Combinatorial Representation Theory".
Richard Ehrenborg is the Principle Investigator for a National Security Agency Grant (June 2006 - May 2009). His grant is currently supporting summer research by Eric Clark and Michael Slone.
Carl Lee is a Co-PI for ACCLAIM (Appalachian Collaborative Center for Learning, Assessment and Instruction in Mathematics), National Science Foundation grant ESI-0119679 (5 years beginning September 2001; $10,543,250). See www.acclaim-math.org. He is also a Co-PI for AMSP (Appalachian Mathematics Science Partnership), National Science Foundation (5 years beginning October 2002; $22,263,868). See www.appalmsp.org.
Carlos Nicolas , Terry Contenza and Laura Schmidt received partial support to attend the workshop, "Discrete and Computational Geometry: Twenty Years Later", Snowbird, Utah, June 18-22, 2006.
The NSF and BIRS supported Richard Ehrenborg's and Carl Lee's March 2006 research visits to the Banff International Research Station.
The NSF and Mittag Leffler Institute supported Richard Ehrenborg's and Margaret Readdy's March 2005 research visits to the Mittag Leffler Institute.
During the academic year 2004-2005, graduate student Michael Slone was selected to be a University of Kentucky Presidential Scholar. This support, along with NSF funding, enabled him to spend the Spring 2005 semester at the Mittag-Leffler Institute for their special semester in Algebraic Combinatorics.
The NSF and BIRS supported Richard Ehrenborg's and Margaret Readdy's August 2004 research visits to the Banff International Research Station.
The NSF and the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton supported Richard Ehrenborg's and Margaret Readdy's July 2004 research visits to the IAS/Park City Mathematics Institute.
During the summer 2004 Richard Ehrenborg was partially funded by a University of Kentucky Summer Faculty Research Fellowship.
During the summer 2004 Margaret Readdy was partially funded by a Research Activity Award Grant sponsored by the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Kentucky
