<div class="ContentPasted0">Topological Data Analysis (TDA) has become an established framework for the extraction and analysis of hidden structural features in complex data with applications to a wide variety of scientific domains including quantum chemistry,
astrophysics, fluid dynamics, combustion, material sciences, biology, and data science. The genericity, efficiency, and robustness of topological methods have made them particularly well suited for the multi-scale, interactive analysis and visualization of
the structural information of data.</div>
<div><br class="ContentPasted0">
</div>
<div class="ContentPasted0">With the aim to broaden the participants’ knowledge in TDA, its application to visual data analysis, and exposure to available software tools, we are organizing a summer school at Norrköping, Sweden during Aug 21-25, 2023. The primary
target group of this summer school is Ph.D. students, postdocs, and master’s students working in this field. For the program, we plan to have lectures by invited speakers in the morning, a short session of presentations from participants after lunch, and hands-on
sessions with different software packages (including TTK, Paraview, and Inviwo) in the afternoon.</div>
<div><br class="ContentPasted0">
</div>
<div class="ContentPasted0">The registration is free of cost, but the participants will need to arrange and pay for travel and accommodation themselves. The number of participants is limited to about 20.</div>
<div><br class="ContentPasted0">
</div>
<div class="ContentPasted0">The tentative list of topics covered includes:</div>
<div><br class="ContentPasted0">
</div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"> * Mathematical foundations: manifolds, Morse functions, complexes, persistent homology, …</div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"> * Topological analysis of scientific data: scalar, vector, tensor, and multi-field topology</div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"> * Feature-based visualization with topological descriptors: comparison, tracking, uncertainty, …</div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"> * Visual representations of topological descriptors</div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"> * Algorithms in computational topology</div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"> * Applications and case studies</div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"> * Software packages for TDA and visualization</div>
