Model theory of operator algebras reading group
Currently on hiatus.
Past seminars and working groups
- I coorganized with Anshu the Model Theory of C*-algebras Reading Seminar at the Fields Institute for Fall 2023. This was part of the long program in operator algebras and we may have some future meetings. Please email if you are interested.
- I organized the UCSD Functional Analysis Seminar for 2021-2022.
- During 2022-2023, I was a coorganizer with Priyanga Ganesan for the UCSD functional analysis seminar (details can be found here).
