Title: Tropical geometry and applications

Abstract: I will describe results from two recent projects in tropical geometry with relevance in applications. In the first half, I will introduce and give several characterizations for flags of tropical linear spaces, in analogy to Speyer's results for tropical linear spaces. In the second half, I will discuss ongoing work relating tropical fewnomials, vertex bounds of Minkowski sums, and linear regions of maxout neural networks.
