At the October 2020 Innovation Hour, Tufts mathematician Moon Duchin will discuss the applications of geometry and computing to electoral redistricting in the United States.
Moon will give an overview of recent developments in the voting rights sphere: computational techniques to study gerrymandering, algorithmic privacy protection in the Census, and modeling approaches to the Voting Rights Act. The goal is to survey some of the pressing problems that are amenable to mathematical intervention and to detail the 2020 state of play.
This Hertz Foundation Innovation Hour will take place live on Saturday, October 17, 2020, from 9:00 – 10:00 a.m. Pacific using the Zoom video conference platform. You can attend on a desktop, mobile device, or by phone. Please register using the form below, and we’ll email you the Zoom meeting information.
