The 'Knitting Day' event is a one-day gathering that brings together students and researchers from diverse fields to explore the fascinating connections between the topology and mechanics of knitting. It aims to foster interdisciplinary discussions on how knitting techniques can be understood through mathematical, physical, and engineering lenses and their potential applications in industry.
This event is organized with the Interdisciplinary Math Study Group.
Schedule: TBA
