[Infopoint]

_*I*__*nvitation to the ICTP Quantitative Life Sciences Colloquium *_

Dear All,

You are most cordially invited to a special ICTP QLS Colloquium on 
"Statistical physics of computational problem" by Professor Lenka 
Zdeborova to take place TODAY,  13 December at 16:30 at the ICTP, 
Leonardo Building, Euler Lecture Hall.

BIOSKETCH: Lenka Zdeborová is a researcher at CNRS working in the 
Institute of Theoretical Physics in CEA Saclay, France. She received a 
PhD in physics from University Paris-Sud and from Charles University in 
Prague in 2008. She spent two years in the Los Alamos National 
Laboratory as the Director's Postdoctoral Fellow. In 2014, she was 
awarded the CNRS bronze medal, in 2016 Philippe Meyer prize in 
theoretical physics and an ERC Starting Grant. She is editorial board 
member for Journal of Physics A, Physical review E and Physical Review 
X. Lenka's expertise is in applications of methods developed in 
statistical physics, such as advanced mean field methods, replica method 
and related message passing algorithms, to problems in machine learning, 
signal processing, inference and optimization.

More information is available at http://indico.ictp.it/event/8798/

Light refreshments will be served after the talk.

You are all very warmly invited to attend.
