Guttmann 2025 - 80 and (still) counting


From Monday 30 June to Wednesday 2 July, 2025 we will hold a conference in honour of Tony Guttmann on the occasion of his 80th birthday.
We will celebrate Tony's research contributions to statistical mechanics, combinatorics, and mathematical physics, as well as his leadership in the broader mathematical sciences community.
It will be hosted in hybrid face-to-face and online mode by the University of Melbourne, with a mixture of local and international participants from places including France, Germany, the UK, Canada, and the USA.
