computational methods for statistical mechanics

Next weak (hopefully not weak!) week,  I will have the pleasure of visiting Scotland again! Indeed, I have been invited to take part to an ICMS workshop on the above topic, located “at the interface between mathematical statistics and molecular simulation”. A wonderful opportunity to meet researchers in computational physics, if challenging because of the different notations and focus as already experience im Hamburg. And to talk about some of my most current MCMC research, if I have time to modify my talk and complete a submission to NIPS… All this in the great environment of ICMS (International Centre for Mathemtical Sciences). And forecasting a pleasant time in Edinburgh, on Arthur’s Seat, and hopefully in the Scottish Highlands.
