Incubator Projects (2020)
MATH+ Incubator Projects are short-term projects that aim to generate the potential for innovation. In a first round in 2020, Incubator Projects ran in two tracks:
Track A: Projects that progress theory by advancing fundamental mathematics or build new bridges within mathematics or with closely related disciplines. These projects have a high potential of impact within the MATH+ Topic Development Lab, preferably in conjunction with one of the past or future Thematic Einstein Semesters.
Track B: Interdisciplinary projects together with a strong partner from other scientific disciplines. These projects have a high potential of opening up novel perspectives on the fruitful interplay of mathematics with other disciplines.
Incubator projects are expected to have lasting impact in terms of new research directions and fields.
Track A
- IN-A1: Algebraic and Tropical Methods for Periodic Timetabling
Ralf Borndörfer - IN-A2: Applications of Algebra in the Geometry of Materials
Myfanwy Evans, Frank Lutz, Bernd Sturmfels - IN-A3: The Fukaya Algebra of Secondary Polytopes in Landau-Ginzburg Models
Chris Wendl - IN-A4: Learning Hypergraphs
Tibor Szabó
Track B
- IN-B1: Biological Validation of Mathematically Predicted Algebraic Conditional Expectation Structures Arising in Gene Regulatory Networks
Vikram Sunkara, Mir-Farzin Mashreghi, Gitta Anne Heinz, Heike Siebert, Tim Conrad - IN-B2: Determining the Probability Distribution Function of Molecular Overlap Times in Single Molecule Microscopy: Random Collisions and Constructive Interactions
Paolo Annibale, Martin Lohse, Christof Schütte - IN-B3: Understanding Doping Variations in Silicon Crystals
Nella Rotundo, Patricio Farrel, Natascha Dropka
The success of the format of Incubator Projects is reflected by new research projects originating from them:
- AA1-11*: Receptor Dynamics and Interactions in Complex Geometries: An Inverse Problem in Particle-Based Reaction-Diffusion Theory
Originating from IN-B2 - AA3-8: The Tropical Geometry of Periodic Timetables
Originating from IN-A1 - EF1-12: Learning Extremal Structures in Combinatorics
Originating from IN-A4
