<div align="left"><b><b><font color="#ff0000">Abstract:</font></b></b><font
color="#ff0000"><font color="#000000"> Knotoids were
introduced by Turaev as open-ended knot-type diagrams
that generalize knots. Turaev defined a two-variable
polynomial invariant of knotoids generalizing the
Jones knot polynomial to knotoids. We will give a
construction of a triply-graded homological invariant
of knotoids categorifying the Turaev polynomial,
called the winding homology. Forgetting one of the
three gradings gives a generalization of the Khovanov
knot homology to knotoids. We will briefly review the
basics of the theory of knotoids and also explain the
notion of categorification which plays an important
role in contemporary knot theory -- no prior knowledge
will be assumed.<i><br>
