Fulkerson 100: A Workshop in Celebration of Ray Fulkerson's 100th Birthday
July 17 to 19, 2024
University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Canada
Fulkerson 100 is a workshop organized by the Dept. of Combinatorics & Optimization (C&O) in celebration of Ray Fulkerson's centenary year of birth. It will be held from July 17-19, 2024 at the University of Waterloo.
Fulkerson 100 is a meeting organized to celebrate Fulkerson's legacy and impact in discrete mathematics, especially in the fields of graph theory, optimization, and operations research. The workshop will feature invited talks in graph theory, combinatorics, optimization, and theoretical computer science, given by some of the foremost researchers in these areas. It will also feature lightning talks and a poster session devoted to students and postdocs. By bringing together various leading researchers in discrete mathematics with junior researchers and students, the workshop aims to boost research in the areas pioneered by Fulkerson, while (implicitly) commemorating his vision and contributions.
Cornell University will host a parallel event, from September 20, 21, 2024 that will focus on the life and contributions of Fulkerson. While the two events are independent, we are coordinating with the organization of the two events.
