Workshop: “Recent Developments in Stochastic Duality”

Eurandom Metaforum, 4th floor, Eindhoven, Netherlands

Summary Duality is a key technique in Markov process theory, with applications in interacting particle systems, non-equilibrium statistical physics, and stochastic population dynamics. In recent years several new developments in the theory of duality have taken place, with applications in the above three areas. Examples include the Lie-algebraic approach to…

YES Causal Inference

Eurandom Metaforum, 4th floor, Eindhoven, Netherlands

Summary Causal inference is at the center of research. Perhaps because of its central position in so many sciences, multiple perspectives have arisen from which causal inference is studied. Two popular ones are the potential outcomes framework and the graphical approach. In this workshop, researchers from many domains (mathematics, (bio)statistics,…

YEP XVIII: “Spectra of random graphs and related combinatorial problems”

Eurandom Metaforum, 4th floor, Eindhoven, Netherlands

Summary Since the first workshop in 2004, the Young European Probabilists (YEP) series has spawned 17  highly successful editions on a wide range of topics. The theme of its 18th edition, will be spectra of random graphs, random matrices and related combinatorial problems. The study of matrices with random entries…

Cohen Centennial 2023

Eurandom Metaforum, 4th floor, Eindhoven, Netherlands

A two-day workshop in the area of Applied Probability. This is a workshop devoted to the memory of J.W. Cohen. Cohen was born 100 years ago, on August 27, 1923; he was a world-leading researcher at the boundary of applied probability and stochastic operations research, with a strong emphasis on…

Stochastic Models in Life Science

MF 11-12 (4th floor MetaForum Building, TU/e)

The aim of this three day's bilateral conference is to discuss recent developments at the interface between probability theory and the life sciences. Probabilistic models are instrumental in the understanding and mathematical description of many biological processes. In this workshop we aim at highlighting specifically the following themes: Stochastic models…
