VLP Recipients 2024

Algeria

National Higher School of Mathematics (Algeria)

Sascha Troscheit (Univ. Oulu, Sweden) will teach a course in October/November 2024 in Real Analysis at the National Higher School of Mathematics.

Douglas Coates (Univ. Sao Paulo, Brazil) will teach a course in December 2024 in Probability at the National Higher School of Mathematics.

The courses are part of a International Mathematics Master (IMM) in collaboration with ICTP. The IMM is an initiative of the Abdu Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) for promoting high quality teaching of advanced mathematics in the whole world. The IMM consists of a two year Master program which is taught by teams of prestigious international visiting faculty in collaboration with local faculty (with whom research collaborations can also be explored).

Iran

Institute for Research in Fundamental Sciences-Isfahan Branch (IPM-Isfahan), Department School of Mathematics

Hiroshi Yamauchi (Japan) will teach a course in Abstract Algebra: Vertex Operator Algebra/Quantum Vertex Algebra at the Institute for Research in Fundamental Sciences-Isfahan Branch (IPM-Isfahan), Department School of Mathematics. The dates have to be confirmed.
 

Madagascar

University of Antananarivo, Département de Mathématiques et d'Informatique (Madagascar)

Tovohery Hajatiana RANDRIANARISOA (Sweden) taught a course in July/August 2024 in Algebraic Coding Theory at the University of Antananarivo, Département de Mathématiques et d'Informatique.

The course is part of a double Master Degree in Mathematics and Computer Science. The program started in February 2023 with 20 students. In order to ensure that students in the Double Master degree program receive the best possible education, the department has reached out to former faculty members who now reside abroad to provide their expertise as volunteer lecturers. The lecturer already gave a course in 2023 in the same institution.

  

Namibia

University of Namibia (Namibia)

Xabier Martinez Garcia (Vigo, Spain) will teach a course in March 2025 in Computing, Mathematical, and Statistical Sciences at the University of Namibia. The course is part of a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics.

Pakistan

COMSATS (Pakistan)

Volkmar Welker (University of Marburg, Germany) will teach a course in April 2025 in Combinatorics at the COMSATS. The course is part of the International Master Program in Mathematics.

The highly competitive 'International Master Program in Mathematics' aims to provide a solid and broad foundation in advanced core topics in mathematics, including Algebraic Topology, Functional Analysis, Differential Geometry, Differential Equations, Dynamic Systems, Qualitative Theory of ODES, Complex Analysis, numerical linear algebra, Commutative Algebra, Combinatorics, Mathematical Analysis, and others. It aims to bridge this gap by collaborating with the world's leading mathematicians. Bringing a volunteer lecturer to our university is crucial as it ensures that our students have access to specialized knowledge and innovative practices that are currently unavailable locally. This opportunity will not only elevate our academic offerings but also enhance our local academic community's capabilities in mathematics.

Lahore University of Management Science (Lahore, Pakistan)

Daniele Angella (Univ. Firenze, Italy) will teach a course in January/February 2025 in Topology at the Lahore University of Management Science.

Charlene Kalle (Leiden Univ., Netherlands) will teach a course in February 2025 in Real Analysis at the Lahore University of Management Science.

The courses are part of a International Mathematics Master at LUMS (in collaboration with ICTP). The IMM is an initiative of the Abdu Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) for promoting high quality teaching of advanced mathematics in the whole world. The IMM consists of a two year Master program which is taught by teams of prestigious international visiting faculty in collaboration with local faculty (with whom research collaborations can also be explored).
