Topological methods for time-varying data: theory and applications (Top Time)
Topological Data Analysis (TDA) is a research area at the intersection of Algebra, Topology, Geometry, Statistics and Machine Learning. While methods from TDA have been applied successfully to data from a variety of domains — from financial mathematics, to materials science, climate science, biomedical imaging, or social science —, there has been less work done on studying in a principled way how such methods can be applied to data that changes dynamically over time. The goal of this workshop is to bring together experts in TDA with experts in application domains in which time-varying data is particularly prevalent. Examples include time series in climate modelling and financial mathematics, as well as dynamic networks in epidemiology and social science modelling.

Conference dinner
The conference dinner will be held at Holey Moley in the Hijinx Hotel. It will involve finger food and crazy golf. The location is in Canberra CBD and is walking distance from ANU. The cost of the conference dinner is separate to the conference registration fee.
Student/Early Career participant support
Limited accommodation and travel funding is available to support participants. To apply, please complete the application form. Priority for funding will be given to graduate students, postdocs and those without access to other sources of funding. We strongly encourage those applying for support to submit a poster.
Mathematicians from historically underrepresented groups are encouraged to apply. Applicants should try to find alternative sources of funding to complement the amounts they may receive from the conference.
While there is no strict deadline, we will start allocating the budget from 31 May 2025.
Applicants will be informed of decisions via email.
