Texas A&M University at Qatar is holding from January 6th, 2019, to January 10th, 2019 an international workshop that will focus on recent results and developments in the analysis and geometry of several complex variables, CR manifolds and closely related areas such as the theory of overdetermined systems of partial differential equations. It will bring together leading experts, recent Ph.D’s, and graduate students from Brazil, Europe, Japan, the middle East and the US with interests in several complex variables, CR manifolds and partial differential equations, and it will promote the exchange of ideas and interactions among these researchers. The workshop will be the occasion to celebrate the mathematical achievements of Emil J. Straube.
