EPM 2016 - 2016 UK Easter Probability Meeting

2016 UK Easter Probability Meeting, taking place at Lancaster University from Monday 4th - Friday 8th April 2016.
The UK Easter Probability Meeting is a renowned probability conference that will be of interest to theoretically inclined machine learning researchers. The theme of the 2016 meeting is "Random structures arising in Physics and Analysis" and it will feature mini-courses by:
Alice Guionnet (MIT) on "Random matrices, free probability and topological expansions",
Michel Ledoux (Toulouse) on "Concentration inequalities: basics and some new challenges",
Jason Miller (Cambridge) on "Quantum Loewner Evolution",
Vladas Sidoravicius (IMPA) on "Three lectures on random walk in dynamically changing environments".
Invited talks will be given by Vincent Beffara, Dmitry Belyaev, Noam Berger, Natasha Blitvic, Erwin Bolthausen, Dmitry Cheliotis, Ivan Gentil, Jon Keating, Kay Kirkpatrick, Elizabeth Meckes, Anatoly Vershik and Fredrik Viklund. There will also be shorter talks by PhD students, a poster session, break-out sessions for discussing open problems, and an excursion and dinner-cruise on Windermere in the Lake District National Park.
Further information is available at http://www.lancaster.ac.uk/maths/easter-probabilit.... The deadline for registration is 29th February 2016.
Funding has been provided by the London Mathematical Society for six UK-based PhD students to present short talks. Further information is available at http://www.lancaster.ac.uk/maths/easter-probabilit... . Please encourage eligible students to apply. The deadline for this is 15th December 2015.
Please pass these details on to colleagues who may be interested.
We look forward to welcoming you to Lancaster in 2016.
