Institute for Mathematical and Statistical Innovation - IMSI

IMSI is excited to be hosting the first Infinite Possibilities Conference since 2018! IPC, now on it's 20th year of programming, was created to educate, empower, and showcase showcase the infinite possibilities of mathematics for participants at all stages of the pipeline. Pre-conference events start today with a mini course and improv workshop. We look forward to seeing all attendees this weekend.

This fall's long program starts up in just a few weeks! Statistical Methods and Mathematical Analysis for Quantum Information Science begins Sept. 16th and is organized by Aashish Clerk, Liang Jiang, Mazyar Mirrahimi, and Pierre Rouchon. Learn more about the program here:

Statistical Methods and Mathematical Analysis for Quantum Information Science • IMSI DescriptionBack to top Quantum information science is a rapidly developing and broad field of research. It has made significant progress over the last decade, including the development of many promising applications such as efficient quantum computational algorithms, secure quantum communication pro...

Last week we said goodbye to this year's SUMSA program with a celebratory Chicago sendoff (ice cream social included)! Thank you to all the students and instructors for making this another successful summer program!

IMSI is currently seeking proposals for long programs, workshops, interdisciplinary research clusters, and other scientific activity with a deadline of September 15, 2024. Information about how to submit proposals can be found on the proposal overview page and the resources linked therein:

Proposals • IMSI Scientific activity at IMSI takes four basic forms: IMSI considers proposals in two cycles each year, one with a deadline of March 15, and the other with a deadline of September 15. Proposals are considered by IMSI’s Scientific Committee at meetings that follow each deadline.

Happy from IMSI! Our new Director of Communications, Sam Hansen, is always celebrating Pride. Catch them at an upcoming Communications Bootcamp on site or over on Zoom: https://www.imsi.institute/communications-bootcamps/
