Randomness – from micro to macro

Antti Kupiainen, University of Helsinki: Introduction.
Academy of Finland Research Professor. Research interests include Foundations of non-equilibrium statistical mechanics and the problem of deriving diffusion and transport from first principles.

Tuomas Hytönen, University of Helsinki: If you can't choose, throw dice - Random constructions in mathematical analysis.
Associate Professor. Research interests include harmonic analysis, stochastic processes and evolution equations.

Peter Imkeller, Humboldt Universität zu Berlin: Modeling paleo-climatic time series by dynamical systems with noise.
Professor of Mathematics. His research interests include Stochastic Analysis, Random dynamical systems, Climate dynamics and Stochastic finance.

Kurt Johansson, Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm: Random matrix universality.
Professor of Mathematics at the Royal Institute of Technology and member of the Swedish Royal Academy of Sciences. Research interests include analysis and probability and in particular random matrix theory and related models.

Gareth Roberts, CRiSM, University of Warwick: Retrospective Simulation.
Professor of Statistics and Director of the Centre for Research in Statistical Methodology, University of Warwick. His research areas span probability and statistics, especially computational and Bayesian statistics, computational probability, inference for stochastic processes, epidemic models and inference with applications to veterinary and human populations.

Stanislav Smirnov, University of Geneva and St.Petersburg State University: CFT and SLE and 2D statistical physics.
Professor, Fields medalist 2010 for work on statistical physics, particularly finite lattice models. Has broad interests in the fields of complex analysis, dynamical systems, probability theory and Schramm-Loewner evolution.

Lutz Weis, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology: An Lp theory for stochastic partial differential equations.
Professor of Mathematics. His research interests include Stochastic evolution equations with infinite-dimensional state space, Vector-valued Harmonic Analysis and Geometry of Banach spaces, Functional Analysis with applications to Partial Differential Equations.
