CCMS Colloquium: Sofia Martinez Alberga (Bryn Mawr College)

February 13 @ 11:00 am - 12:15 pm
CCMS Colloquium invites you to a talk by Sofia Martinez Alberga (Bryn Mawr College)

Title: Stay in the Loop and Fun Group

Abstract: In this talk, we will discuss the goal of algebraic topology. After we will discuss a topological space that can be associated with any topological space, say $X$, and base point, $b \in X$: the based loop space denoted $\Omega(X, b)$. The loop space has some interesting algebraic structure that allows us to define an invariant for spaces. We will see how this invariant can be used more generally and when the action of a group is present on the space.

Bio: Dr. Sofía Martínez Alberga is a Research Associate at Bryn Mawr College working in algebraic topology. Originally born and raised in southern California, she earned her Bachelor’s of Science in mathematics from the University of California, Riverside in 2019 and that same year she won the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship and the Math Alliance Fellowship. Dr. Martínez Alberga earned her PhD from Purdue University and during graduate school, she held roles like MSRI-Undergraduate Program graduate research assistant, Enhancing Diversity Graduate Education summer program graduate mentor, and Women In Science Programs (WISP) Liaison. Furthermore Dr. Martínez Alberga has been invited to attend and speak at conferences and seminars internationally and has organized and secured grants for sessions at major conferences such as JMM.
