This award provides support for the 7th biennial Topology Students Workshop (TSW) that will be held at Vanderbilt University during June 10-14, 2024. This is a five-day research and professional development activity for graduate students in the fields of geometric group theory, geometry, and topology, designed to expose graduate students to a wide range of current research, and to build their communication, networking, and problem-sharing skills. Approximately forty graduate students will participate, guided by ten mentors, who come from a wide range of career stages and research backgrounds within this field. The professional development and research sides of the workshop run in tandem, with mentors giving guidance in both areas. The workshop format devotes ample time for active networking and critiquing of research presentations. The primary goals of TSW are to a) expose graduate students to a wide range of current research in topology, b) build their communication, networking, and problem-sharing skills, and c) give guidance on necessary but typically untaught aspects of the profession. The research portion covers a broad array of topics within geometry and topology including contact and symplectic topology, 3-manifolds, hyperbolic geometry, group actions, and complex dynamics. Professional development sessions include topics such as how best to benefit from conference participation and aim to build confidence and research potential among students. The workshop includes structured sessions on networking and etiquette, the job application process, communication skills, and a panel discussion on career paths that involves mathematicians from organizations such as NSA, Amazon, Google and private high schools. Mentors will also give research talks and suggest relevant problems to students who are embarking on a research career.

该奖项为将于 2024 年 6 月 10 日至 14 日在范德比尔特大学举办的第七届拓扑学学生研讨会 (TSW) 提供支持。这是一项为期五天的几何群论领域研究生研究和专业发展活动、几何和拓扑，旨在让研究生接触广泛的当前研究，并培养他们的沟通、网络和问题共享技能。大约四十名研究生将在十名导师的指导下参加，这些导师来自该领域的不同职业阶段和研究背景。 研讨会的专业发展和研究部分同时进行，导师在这两个领域提供指导。 研讨会形式投入了充足的时间进行积极的交流和对研究报告的评论。 TSW 的主要目标是 a) 让研究生接触当前拓扑学领域的广泛研究，b) 培养他们的沟通、网络和问题分担技能，以及 c) 就该专业必要但通常未教授的方面提供指导。 研究部分涵盖几何和拓扑内的广泛主题，包括接触和辛拓扑、3-流形、双曲几何、群作用和复杂动力学。专业发展会议的主题包括如何最好地从参加会议中受益，以及旨在建立学生的信心和研究潜力等主题。 该研讨会包括关于网络和礼仪、工作申请流程、沟通技巧的结构化会议，以及关于职业道路的小组讨论，其中涉及来自美国国家安全局、亚马逊、谷歌和私立高中等组织的数学家。 导师还将进行研究讲座，并向正在从事研究生涯的学生提出相关问题。 会议的网站是 http://www.danmargalit.net/tsw24。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
