Both start their positions on March 1.

## Maya Sankar gave a talk about an extremal problem on 2-dimensional simplicial complexes analogous to Mader’s theorem on graphs without a subdivision of a fixed complete graph at the Discrete Math Seminar

On February 28, 2023, Maya Sankar from Stanford University gave a talk at the Discrete Math Seminar about an extremal problem on 2-dimensional simplicial complexes analogous to Mader’s theorem on the number of edges in a graph without a subdivision of a fixed complete graph. The title of her talk was “The Turán Numbers of Homeomorphs“.
