On September 2, 2023, PriRadio TV, led by Benjamín Losada Posada, featured a compelling interview (link to this interview here!) with the team behind ICMAM Latin America. The interview provided an in-depth look at the organization’s objectives and its pivotal role in advancing mathematical research in Latin America and the Caribbean.

ICMAM Latin America is an organisation founded in 2020 at the University of Valle in Cali, that has rapidly evolved into a beacon of hope for the mathematical community in the region. This organisation has several projects supported by the ISAAC, the Ghent Analysis and PDE Center, the Mexican Mathematical Society, the Colombian Mathematical Society, the Metropolitan Autonomous University of Mexico, the University of Valle, and other Latin American Societies.

During the interview, the organization’s directors, Duván Cardona, Brian Grajales, and the ICMAM board member Yuriko Pitones shed light on their commitment to fostering collaboration among mathematicians in Latin America and beyond.

Key highlights of the interview included:

1. Advancing Mathematical Research: ICMAM Latin America’s primary goal is to advance mathematical research in Latin America and the Caribbean. The organization accomplishes this through biennial conferences, research programs, and collaboration with renowned mathematical societies and institutions.
2. Global Reach: Dr. Cardona and Dr. Grajales shared how ICMAM Latin America has expanded from its origins in Cali to involve more than 50 mathematicians from around the world. This global perspective underscores the organization’s commitment to facilitating interaction between young, emerging researchers and established international mathematicians.
3. Gender Inclusivity: The interview emphasized ICMAM Latin America’s dedication to promoting gender inclusivity within the field of mathematics. The organization actively supports and highlights the work of women mathematicians in Latin America, addressing gender disparities in the mathematical community.

PriRadio TV’s coverage of ICMAM Latin America serves as a testament to the organization’s growing impact on mathematical research and collaboration in the region. The interview highlighted the vital role that ICMAM Latin America plays in bridging the gap between mathematicians in Latin America and their counterparts worldwide.

The project: Fourier Integral Operators on Graded Lie groups.

About the project: the goal of this project is to contribute to the scientific program carried out for more than forty years (dating back to the works of Folland and Stein) in charge of extending the techniques from the Euclidean harmonic analysis to the more general setting of nilpotent Lie groups. The contribution of this project will be the construction of the theory of Fourier Integral operators (FIOs) on graded Lie groups. Developing a suitable theory of Fourier Integral Operators (FIOs) in this context will enable the solution of numerous unresolved problems in non-commutative harmonic analysis.

Keywords: Fourier Integral Operators, Microlocal Analysis, Control Theory, Harmonic Analysis, Partial Differential Equations.

Project Scope: the scope of this project involves the collaboration between the Ghent Analysis and PDE Center with a team formed by researchers from several foreign universities, including UCLA, University of Chicago, Cornell University, University of Wisconsin Madison, Queen Mary University of London, and the Imperial College London.

About Duván (visit his website here!). Duván Cardona earned his Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics from Universidad del Valle in 2015 under the supervision of Julio Delgado. He was associated as a Lecturer at different Colombian universities, such as Universidad de Los Andes and Pontificia Universidad Javeriana. In 2019, he began his doctoral studies under the supervision of Michael Ruzhansky. In 2018, he received an honorable mention from the Yu-Takeuchi Award, awarded by the Colombian Academy of Sciences. From 2022 to 2024, he will serve as the president of the scientific board for the continental project ICMAM Latin America. Adding to his achievements, he has been awarded this prestigious FWO Postdoctoral Fellowship by the FWO, Research Foundation, Flanders.

Read about Fourier Integral operators from Wikipedia here!.

Applications of Fourier Integral Operators in Real Life: Fourier integral operators serve as valuable tools for describing physical phenomena. They play a crucial role in understanding the evolution of waves over time as wave propagators. Waves, which are carriers of energy, can be observed in various domains, ranging from neuron pulses and blood flow in arteries to ocean waves. By employing Fourier integral operators, researchers can analyze and gain insights into diverse fields. For instance, in the medical field, these operators aid in the analysis of the cardiovascular system. In the realm of information theory, Fourier integral operators facilitate the study of waves like microwaves, radio waves, WiFi signals, and visible light. These operators are intrinsic mathematical objects that align with various numerical analysis techniques, enabling a comprehensive exploration of these phenomena and contributing to a deeper understanding of wave behavior and its implications in different areas of study.

Description: For many years there has been a push for moving teaching and research content online in a form that goes beyond just linking print versions of documents. The COVID pandemic has only accelerated this trend, forcing all faculty to focus on how to deliver courses online. However, hastily moving material online bears the risk that important accessibility considerations are neglected, threatening fair and inclusive education for all. This is especially true for mathematics and other STEM fields where complex structures such as equations and diagrams play an integral role. In this webinar we will advocate that in addition to moving content online quickly, instructors can use best practices developed for authors to ensure accessibility of math content from the start, thus avoiding additional and duplicate work.

Our presentation shall give an overview of different requirements on presentation and content for students and readers with special needs and how assistive technology support can be provided. We shall particularly concentrate on what this means for math content and how it is made accessible on the web. We argue that the web is the ideal platform for hosting and curating modern content regardless of their original sources like LaTeX, Word, or plain text. And we will demonstrate how accessibility can be practically a free byproduct of conversion from traditionally authored content. In conclusion we discuss ways of authoring, preparing, and teaching accessible web documents containing mathematics, highlighting some of the best practices.
