The BMS Summer School 2011 will take place at TU from September 26 - October 7, 2011. The topic will be "Random motions and random graphs". The summer school is organized by the Berlin/Potsdam probability community, coordinated by Wolfgang König (TU Berlin and WIAS).
The summer school is devoted to fundamental and crucial properties of random motions in random and non-random environment, and to macroscopic structures on large random graphs, with a view at algorithmic applications. Four active researchers give modern treatises of timely subjects in these fields and develop the current state of the art of the methodologies used. Speaker are Brigitte Chauvin, Nina Gantert, Remco van der Hofstad and Peter Mörter.
d-fine, the consultancy specializing in the financial sector, sponsors a PhD fellowship "Optimization in Financial Markets". The fellowship has been awarded to Paulwin Gräwe.
