RTG: Geometry and Topology at UCLA


This NSF-supported Research Training Group (DMS-2136090, 2022-09-01 to 2027-08-31) provides research training in geometry, topology, and related computational methods to UCLA postdocs, graduate students, and undergraduates (restricted to U.S. citizens and permanent residents). It aims, in addition, to support undergraduates, graduate students, and postdoctoral scholars in connecting with programs at UCLA and in the broader community that focus on K-12 education, and on connecting with community colleges.
