More than 100 researchers and students from across Canada and around the world attended the 53rd annual Canadian Operator Algebras Symposium (COSY), which took place from May 26-30 at the University of Waterloo. This is the first time Waterloo has hosted since 2015.
“We were really happy with how the conference went this year,” says Dr. Matthew Kennedy, a University Research Chair, professor in the Department of Pure Mathematics, and one of the organizers of the conference. “A significant number of the top people in the field were plenary speakers.”
While COSY’s location varies from year to year, this year’s location was particularly apt because it honored Dr. Ken Davidson, a professor in Pure Mathematics at the University of Waterloo. “Celebrating Ken Davidson’s outsized influence on operator algebras in Canada,” the conference closed with a special “Kenfest” on May 31, featuring talks from Davidson’s students, postdocs and collaborators.
