The common theme of this summer school is the mathematics of Monge-Kantorovich
optimal transport (OT). The stunning mathematical development of OT has
recently permeated into several fields of applications. Our speakers, chosen
from the fields of analysis, biology, data science, economics, and probability,
are leaders in their respective fields whose work intimately involves OT. Our
goal is to expose talented students and junior researchers to the exciting and
manifold research opportunities arising from OT and its applications, through
attending lectures and interacting with the speakers as well as their peer
participants. We strongly encourage participation by a diverse audience and
welcome attendees from traditionally underrepresented socio-economic and
cultural groups.
As the school is planned at the beginning of the summer season in Seattle, the
participants can also enjoy the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest and
feel the energy of one of leading tech metropolises in the United States and
around the world.
