PhD Studentship on Large deviation principles for Random walks in Random
potential
We are pleased to offer this fully-funded PhD studentship, available in the
Department of Mathematics at University of Sussex.
The project aims to understand the behaviour of various `rare events'
associated with aspects of three types of growth processes, namely first
and last passage percolation or random walks in random potential.
In random spatial processes such as these, we have always two sources of
randomness.
First, we have a background random environment on a lattice that creates
the `random medium' and then, under a fixed environment, we define a
measure on lattice paths.
The goal of the proposed project is to understand not only the typical, but
most importantly the atypical behaviour of these path measures and the
paths themselves, under various conditions on the random environment.
The usual techniques necessary for such endeavours are drawn from various
areas of Analysis (Real, Complex, Convex and Functional) and probabilistic
techniques that when not completely general, are usually model dependent.
The PhD project will be under the supervision of Dr Nicos Georgiou.
14th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
C R E D I T 2015
*Societal Fault Lines and Credit Risk:
The Impact of Current Economic, Institutional and Political Developments
on Credit and Risk*
Venice, Italy
1 - 2 October 2015
The objective of the Conference is to bring together academics,
practitioners and PhD students working in the area of risk management.
The conference this year focuses on *Societal Fault Lines and Credit
Risk: The Impact of Current Economic, Institutional and Political
Developments on Credit and Risk* and will provide an opportunity for
participants engaged in research at the forefront of this area to
discuss both the causes and implications of recent events in financial
markets and may, in turn, suggest fruitful directions for future
research. The Conference is the *fourteenth* of a series dedicated to
various aspects of credit risk.
The *co-sponsors* of the Conference are *GRETA Associati* (Venice,
Italy), *Center on Sustainable Architecture for Finance (SAFE) at Goethe
University Frankfurt* (Frankfurt, Germany), the *University of Zurich*
(Zurich, Switzerland) and *Intesa Sanpaolo *(Milan, Italy). The
Conference is organised under the *auspices *of the *Department of
Economics of the University Ca’ Foscari of Venice*, *ABI - Italian
Banking Association *and *European Investment Bank.*
The Scientific Committee for the Conference consists of: *Steven Ongena*
(University of Zurich, Programme Chair), *Mark Carey (*Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System), *Hans Degryse* (KU Leuven),

which will be held in Vienna from 28th to 29th of September 2015.
Our invited speakers will be
Evelyn Buckwar (Johannes Kepler University Linz)
Jirí Cerný (University of Vienna)
This event shall especially give young researchers the opportunity to present their work and to network with other colleagues from or near Austria. Therefore, we would also ask you to PLEASE FORWARD this announcement to doctoral students and postdocs within your research group and department! Thank you.
Every participant is invited to submit a talk. The duration of talks is expected to be about 20 minutes (plus 5 minutes discussion) but depending upon the number of submissions this may slightly be adjusted (+/- 5 minutes).
For submission please send title and abstract (plain text) to
austrian.stochasticdays(a)gmail.com<mailto:austrian.stochasticdays@gmail.com>
until August 15, 2015. We would appreciate if you send in your title/abstract as early as possible as this allows us to estimate the number of participants better.
In order to have time to talk to each other we also plan to meet for dinner in the evening of the 28th of September.
