Description:

Geometric analysis is a rapidly developing area of mathematics that draws tools from differential geometry, partial differential equations, and topology to study the structure and evolution of geometric objects. Despite a strong presence of researchers across Australia, students working in geometric analysis are widely dispersed, and opportunities for sustained in‑person collaboration remain limited.

The OzGeomPDE Student Symposium aims to bring together PhD students and early‑career researchers from across Australia to exchange ideas, develop collaborations, and strengthen the national geometric analysis community. Building on the success of the Australian Geometric PDE (OzGeomPDE) Seminar, now in its seventh season, the symposium will provide participants with a supportive environment to present their work, explore emerging topics, and engage deeply with open problems.

The event will feature student talks, a mini‑course on the central theme for the current OzGeomPDE seminar series delivered by a leading expert, and structured collaboration sessions centred around both the student talks and the mini‑course topics. By prioritising interaction over dense scheduling, the symposium is designed to foster meaningful mathematical dialogue and seed long‑term research partnerships.
