Title: Topological data analysis of collaboration networks

Abstract: Collaboration networks have a natural representation as bipartite graphs. We suggest ways in which topological methods such as persistence and the mapper algorithm can complement more classical approaches to analysing and visualising such networks.

Title: Topology of large random complexes

Abstract: I will describe several models producing large random simplicial complexes; I will also describe some known results and will mention some outstanding challenges.
