Overview
Unlock the mysteries of singularities with the mathematical tools that study shock waves, fluid flows, quantum systems, and beyond. This research program brings together world-leading experts to advance breakthrough theories in Analysis and PDEs, from Wiener-type criteria and free boundary problems to nonlinear wave dynamics and machine-learning-guided discovery. Bridging pure mathematics, probability, fluid mechanics, numerical analysis, and biomedical engineering, the program will ignite new collaborations and advance how we understand the mathematics behind natural phenomena.

Program Dates
