| Title:
  Finite frames and optimal subspace packings
 Abstract:
  John Benedetto is a fantastic advisor, with a knack for posing
  problems that a student can build a career on.  For me in particular,
  John's questions led to a lifelong exploration of finite frames and
  their connections to optimal packings in Grassmannians, including
  equiangular tight frames.  I'll present an overview of these
  connections, with an emphasis on historical developments, the current
  state-of-the-art, and important open problems.
