Towards Categorification in Applied Mathematics
by
Robert Ghrist
Penn [Mathematics and Electrical/Systems Engineering

This talk will be a light survey of recent and current work in applications of algebraic topology to data, networks, and engineering systems. The emphasis will be on the (at present, inchoate) use of categorification as a theme for doing applied mathematics.
