Together with colleagues from the US and Germany, Reem Yassawi, senior lecturer in the Centre for Complex Systems, has applied successfully to host a workshop at the Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach (MFO, Oberwolfach Research Institute for Mathematics). MFO workshops are prestigious gatherings of small groups of invited experts, who spend a week with talks and discussions to share recent results and novel methods and to initiate new collaborations.

The present workshop will take place in April 2027 and bring together 53 researchers from 15 countries and various scientific backgrounds, united by their interest in Aperiodic Order. Systems exhibiting aperiodic order display some regularity, but without repeating patterns. Examples of this phenomenon are quasicrystals and Penrose tilings. Their study builds on methods from harmonic analysis, dynamical systems, and spectral theory, among others. Besides experts from these research areas, the participants will also include scholars from other fields with recently discovered connections to aperiodic order.
