Lévy processes and random walks

A workshop in celebration of Ron Doney's 80th birthday

(26-28 July, 2022)

The University of Manchester

The Department of Mathematics at the University of Manchester will host the meeting on Levy processes and random walks, a three day-long workshop on Levy processes random and related areas, with 24 invited talks and opportunities to present posters. This workshop will celebrate 80th birthday of Ron Doney

Registration

The conference will be run in hybrid mode with talks given either offline or online. The participants can also participate either in person or online. There is an opportunity for early-career researchers and research students to present a poster. We have limited support for some participants presenting posters with preference given to EPSRC funded students. The deadline for abstract submission is Tuesday 31st of May and decisions about the financial support will be communicated by Friday 3rd of June.

Registration is free but mandatory. To register, please follow the link Registration . Please note that the number of places is limited.
