Invitation
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.
