We are pleased to invite you to the *FRG Workshop on Geometric Methods for Analyzing Discrete Shapes* at the Center of Mathematical Sciences and Applications at Harvard University.

The workshop will take place May 7-9 (Friday-Sunday), 2021 virtually on Zoom. For detailed information and registration, please visit the conference website: https://cmsa.fas.harvard.edu/frg-2021/

The aim of the workshop is to bring together a community of researchers in mathematics, computer science and data science who develop theoretical and computational models to characterize shapes and analysis of image data.

The first half of the workshop will feature talks aimed at graduate students, newcomers, and broad spectrum of audiences. Christopher Bishop (Stony Brook) and Keenan Crane (Carnegie Mellon) will each give two featured talks. The remaining part will have both background and research talks. Contributed talks are encouraged. There will also be organized discussions of open problems and potential applications.

Featured lectures:
•	Christopher Bishop, Stony Brook
•	Keenan Crane, Carnegie Mellon

Speakers include:
•	Miri Ben-Chen, Technion – Israel Institute of Technology
•	Alexander Bobenko, Technische Universität Berlin, Germany
•	Ulrike Buecking, Free University, Germany
•	Nadav Dym, Duke University
•	Ivan Izmestiev, Vienna University of Technology
•	Yanwen Luo, Rutgers
•	Stephan Tillmann, The University of Sydney
•	Max Wardetzky, University of Goettingen 
•	Xu Xu, Wuhan University

Organizers:
•	David Glickenstein, University of Arizona
•	Joel Hass, University of California, Davis
•	Patrice Koehl, University of California, Davis
•	Feng Luo, Rutgers University, New Brunswick
•	Tianqi Wu, Harvard University
•	Shing-Tung Yau, Harvard University

This workshop is part of the NSF FRG project: Geometric and Topological Methods for Analyzing Shapes.

This message was sent to you via the Geometry List, which announces conferences in geometry and closely related areas to over 1600 mathematicians worldwide.

At http://listserv.utk.edu/archives/geometry.html there are many functions available, including checking the archives since November 2005, changing your e-mail address or preferences, and joining/leaving the list. If you have problems that cannot be resolved at this website, send a message to [log in to unmask]

Before sending an announcement, please carefully read the following. Any announcements that are *not* about conferences (e.g. those about jobs, journals, books, etc.) will be rejected by the moderator without comment. Announcements of individual talks and department seminars will also be rejected; https://mathseminars.org is a good option to announce for such talks. To announce a geometry or closely related conference, send the announcement (including a conference web site if possible) to [log in to unmask] The moderator cannot edit your message; list members will receive the announcement as an e-mail from you EXACTLY as you submitted it. For example, if your submission starts with "Please post this on the geometry list" then your conference announcement will also begin with that statement. In order to keep down the volume of e-mail, only TWO announcements per conference will be approved by the moderator. The "subject" of your message should include the name of the conference and the number (first or second) of the announcement, e.g. Gauss Memorial Lectures in Geometry: Second Announcement. Please check that your announcement (especially the website) is correct. Corrections will be approved only in the most critical situations, e.g. if corrected information is not available on the website. After submitting an announcement you may receive a message asking you to confirm your submission. This feature is designed to thwart the hundreds of machine-generated spam that are sent to the list and would otherwise have to be manually blocked by the moderator. If you do not see your announcement within 48 hours, please check the archives to see whether it was actually posted (i.e. you somehow missed seeing the post or are not subscribed with your current email address). If the announcement is not in the archive, search for a confirmation message that you may have missed (from listserv.utk.edu). If none of this solves the mystery, send a message to [log in to unmask]
