ComPer 2025: Workshop on Computational Topology
October 10 - 14, University at Albany, State University of New York

About the Workshop

The 5th Workshop on Computational Topology (ComPer 2025) will take place October 10-14 in hybrid mode at the University at Albany, State University of New York. This workshop provides a forum to exchange ideas on computational aspects of topological persistence, TDA, and related topics.

The schedule will consist of invited, contributed, and lightning talks in the mornings, as well as discussions and a poster session for the local participants in the afternoons.

We encourage in-person participation, but equally welcome submissions of researchers that attend remotely.

Submission Details (for contributed talks and lighting talks with poster)

To allow more participants to share their results, this year's workshop will feature both contributed talks and lightning talks with posters. Proposals for this should be submitted as a .pdf abstract of at most two pages. The scientific committee will either accept a submission as a contributed talk, or offer a lightning talk with a poster instead, or reject the submission. If you wish to be considered only for a lightning talk with a poster, please state so in in your submission. The abstract should contain sufficient detail for the committee to gauge the quality of the work, and should not merely point to a description uploaded somewhere else.

  • Deadline for abstract submission: June 20, 2025
