JuliaCon 2024 - DistributedWorkflows.jl

In this talk, we present a serializer-independent interface to a task-based workflow management system. This package aims at simplifying the process of writing a distributed application. Given a workflow pattern as a Petri net and the code for the workflow tasks, our package can be used on a cluster (e.g. with Slurm), to automate the application's parallel deployment. Hence, DistributedWorkflows.jl will be an invaluable addition to the growing high-performance computing packages in Julia.

Young Researchers Symposium 2024 Talk - Adventures Await in The Shadow Realm of Mathematics.

The shadow realm of tropical geometry may seem a little peculiar at first since objects in this realm might not be what they look like. An object at hand might merely be a shadow or a reflection of an object in the real world. In recent times, more and more people are getting curious about this realm of shadows. Some say it is due to the fact that you can travel great distances in a fraction of the time, for ones who know their way and who dare to tread upon it. Yet for others, this realm offers solutions to problems that were unanswered in the outside world. We will familiarize ourselves with some of the alluring creatures that inhabit this shadow realm. We get close to tropical quartics, a tentacle monster, its shape-shifting companions, the bitangent shapes, the dual motifs where these shape-shifters dwell, and my adventure of identifying the territory the quartics occupy in the secondary cone. Curious adventurer be warned: if you continue on this path, it may lead you to many new possibilities but the way back may not be possible or even desired by you any longer. You might become one of the architects of this unique realm, taming its creatures, expanding its horizons, and opening a portal for these shadows to make contact on the other side.
