The Johns Hopkins Junior Number Theory Days are a two-day workshop in Number Theory, where the speakers are either PhD students who are graduating, or post-docs who recently graduated. It aims to bring together strong, promising young researchers in Number Theory and neighboring fields, and to give them an opportunity to showcase their work.

March 1, 2022: talk by Dimitri Kanevsky (Google) on “A Non-Associative Moufang Loop of Point Classes on a Cubic Surface”
Dimitri Kanevsky came up with the first example of a non-associative Moufang loop of classes of points on cubic hypersurfaces. This answers a 50-year-old question by Yuri Manin. This talk was the first talk in mathematics which used a speech recognition technology. The program for speech recognition was co-invented also by Dimitri Kanevsky.
