About KOALA
The Mathematics Departments at both The Ohio State University (Columbus, OH) and the University of Kentucky (Lexington, KY) have a critical mass of faculty, postdocs and graduate students in Combinatorial Algebraic Geometry. Faculty at both institutions often have research collaborations and meet each other at conferences. Younger members of both groups do not have as many opportunities to interact.
KOALA workshops (regular 2-day meetings held once a year, and alternating between both institutions) provide a venue to further expand collaborations between these two groups. Their main goals are:
- to establish a community of mathematicians in Kentucky and Ohio working in Combinatorial Algebraic Geometry;
- to expose graduate students and junior researchers in both institutions to the many outstanding problems in Combinatorial Algebraic Geometry, and to the tools currently being used to attack them; and
- to survey recent developments in Combinatorial Algebraic Geometry (including moduli of curves, toric and tropical geometry, and the related geometry and combinatorics of homogeneous spaces)
Speakers
The KOALA 2025 Workshop will feature talks by three distinguished plenary speakers and some junior speakers from participating Midwest institutions:

|
| Richard Haburcak (The Ohio State University) |
Matt Larson (Princeton University) |

| StephenMcKean (Brigham Young University) |
Vasu Tewari (University of Toronto Mississauga) |

Schedule
We expect participants to arrive on Thursday June 5 at noon and leave on Friday June 6 in mid-afternoon. Lectures will start at 1pm on Day 1 and end around 3pm on Day 2.
The program is designed to encourage new research initiatives by allowing enough free time for discussion. In addition to the two plenary lectures (and accompanying pre-talks), we will have three additional lectures by postdocs and a lightning session of introductory talks.
All Talks (including the lightning round) will take place in room CH 240. Coffee breaks and the dinner on Day 1 will be held in MW 724.
