Dynamics and Group Geometry Early Researchers Seminar (DAGGER)
DAGGER is an informal seminar for early-career researchers with interests in dynamics, geometry, topology and related areas. The aim is to provide an accessible setting where postgraduate students and postdocs can talk about their research and their interests, and connect over maths.
Students and postdocs from other areas are welcome to participate, and new PhD students, master's students and third- and fourth-year undergraduates are in particular encouraged to come along!
Talks take place on Mondays, 2-3PM, in B3.02.
If you would like to give a talk or suggest a speaker, please contact Darragh, Glen, Layne or Vicente.
