BRIN Mathematics Research Center (Post snowstorm!)

After a failed start due to the longest snowstorm in recent memory (February 2-4, 2024) I made it to the University of Maryland to participate in a workshop on ‘Applied Stochastic Processes for Encounter Problems’ organized by Bill Fagan and Ricardo Martinez-Garcia.

It was a wonderful week that included some insightful discussions with Ruth Baker, Justin Calabrese, Chris Fleming, Sarah Davidson and Rebcca Tyson among others. I enjoyed reconnecting with my fellow Canuck Mark Lewis!

A quick visit to Washington DC capped off the week with a wonderful walk through the National Portrait Gallery.
