The workshop was very interesting, especially because it allowed the interaction between a lot of people of different backgrounds to join on a very comfortable space.

The workshop gave me the opportunity to meet some great experts in a very exciting area, which shared with me their knowledge and some interesting references. I have got some great ideas about the subject, and discovered new connections with other fields of my interest, like matroid theory. I am so grateful to have had such opportunity.

I have already begun two research projects stemming from my participation in the Sandpile Groups workshop. One of these is a large-scale collaboration with about twelve other mathematicians from Canada, the USA and Mexico, on a topic I learned about for the first time at the workshop. The other project combines a long-standing research direction of mine with ideas from an excellent talk given by another participant (M. Chan). I think the workshop was a great success for myself and many other participants, and I am very grateful to the workshop organizers and CMO-BIRS staff for making it possible.
