Upcoming Steltson Lectures

The Steltson Lectures will consist of three seperate events:

Two Lectures by Professor Gerhad Huisken on Feb 19 and 20th. And to lead off the events, a comic monolog by Josh Kornblouth on his experience with matheamtics at Princeton. This event will be ticketed, and GT students can
get reduced tickets of $5.


Professor Gerhard Huisken, of the Albert-Einstein-Institut für Gravitationsphysik of the Max-Planck Society, will deliver this year's Stelson Lecture on February 19th. Professor Huisken, a master expositor and expert on curvature driven flows, will describe in two lectures the striking recent developments in curvature flow and the situations in which they apply, including relations to Perelman's recent proof of the Poincaré conjecture. Huisken's first lecture, Classifying manifolds and hypersurfaces by geometric evolution equations, is intended for a general audience.
