Participation in the French Stochastic Geometry Days 2026

Chiara Fend participated as an invited speaker at this year’s French Stochastic Geometry Days in September. This year, the conference took place in Rouen, Normandy. The conference itself consisted of two days of mini-courses on the topics “Asymptotics of non-local geometric statistics,” “Self-similar Markov trees,” and “SPDEs for Gaussian Random Fields,” as well as three days of presentations covering various topics in the field of stochastic geometry.

In her presentation, “Characterization of Spatial Tessellations Using Persistent Homology,” Chiara first introduced Topological Data Analysis as a suitable method for analyzing random spatial structures. She then presented her latest approaches to extending persistent homology to spatial tessellations and making it applicable in a statistical context.
