A half year program on Tropical Geometry at MSRI
proposed by Ilia Itenberg, Grigory
Mikhalkin, Bernd Sturmfels and myself has been approved for
the fall of 2009!
Check out the official announcement
here.
In the fall of 2006, I have spent 2 months at MSRI as a
research professor within the program
Computational Applications of Algebraic Topology.
While at MSRI, I co-organized a 1-day workshop on Tropical Geometry with Bernd Sturmfels. The result is a list of the top ten open problems in Tropical Geometry from an algebraic and combinatorial viewpoint. Have a look!
I was co-organizing a workshop at MSRI in August 2006:
Recent Developments in Arrangements and Configuration Spaces.
It was dedicated to
Sergey Yuzvinsky,
on the occasion of his 70th birthday.
Our daughter
Esther Yael Feichtner was born on August 9, 2006 in Zurich!
My graduate student Emanuele Delucchi has
defended his thesis at ETH Zürich in July 2006. Congratulations!
