Congratulations to Jiayi Wen for his presentation at FPSAC 2025 in Japan! Formal Power Series and Algebraic Combinatorics (FPSAC) is the largest and longest running annual international conference in combinatorics which has a competitive peer-review process for vetting submissions. Jiayi’s work with Eric Marberg deriving new formulas for K-theory was among the accepted papers for this year. The full arxiv preprint can be read here. Together, they generalize the expansion for symplectic Grothendieck polynomials into classical Grothendieck polynomials to the orthogonal case when the indexing permutation is vexillary. We expect this will be the first of many future presentations for Jiayi at FPSAC. Congratulations again!

On September 26th, the Mathematical Data Science M.S. program hosted its first industry speaker, Matt Sherman, for his talk titled "Data Gaps in the Music Industry." You can watch a recording of Matt's video here. Matt welcomes all students to connect with him on LinkedIn if they have questions.

If interested, PhD students can join the next MDS speaker event through Zoom, see information in the flyer below:
