SUMMARY:Excursions into the Mathematical Universe: Tracing Fingerprints with Graph Theory
DESCRIPTION:A series of popular science lectures titled “Excursions into the Mathematical Universe.” The lectures are primarily intended for students of secondary schools in the Primorska region\, but they are also open to the general public. Researchers and university lecturers will present ancient and modern mathematical concepts and their applicability in various fields of science\, natural sciences\, and social sciences in an accessible way. \n\nTracing Fingerprints with Graph Theory \nThe use of fingerprints for personal identification began with Henry Faulds in 1880. Just eight years later\, it was established that the probability of two fingerprints from different individuals being identical is only 1 in 64 billion. Consequently\, the use of fingerprints is still very widespread today\, especially in forensic science. Modern fingerprint recognition relies on computer algorithms and patterns in databases\, where knowledge of graph theory—particularly graph isomorphism—is of great help. In this lecture\, we will briefly become familiar with some basics of graph theory and then with certain characteristic fingerprint patterns. Finally\, we will learn about a simple algorithm for fingerprint recognition. \nAbout the lecturer: Kenny Štorgel obtained his PhD in mathematical sciences in 2023 in the field of graph theory. He is currently employed at the Faculty of Information Studies in Novo mesto and at the University of Primorska\, Faculty of Mathematics\, Natural Sciences and Information Technologies. His research work focuses mainly on graph theory\, especially algorithmic\, chromatic\, and structural graph theory. As part of his work\, he is also active in other areas related to computer science. \n\n\nFurther below\, you are kindly invited to read and view the following materials related to the event: \n\nThe invitation with the program is available at this link.\nEvent materials are available at this link.\nA recording of the event is available at this link.\nPhotos from the event:
