[Master and Phd Degree] London Mathematical Laboratory Summer School 2019 in Italy

At London Mathematical Laboratory summer school postgraduate students will spend four weeks researching a project under the supervision of LML Fellows and colleagues from the ICTP and the International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA).

There are 10 research projects to apply for this year:

Social balance and polarization
Noise-induced bifurcations
Anderson localization on random graphs
Analysis of interaction among discrete events with the nonparametric Hawkes self-exciting model
Optimal leverage in high-frequency trading data
Stochastic thermodynamics of Active Non-Markovian Processes
Anomalous diffusion in deterministic and stochastic dynamics
Quantifying Ignorance – Evaluation of Forecasters using Bets
Inequality, poverty. Mobility and mixing
A dynamical system model of atmospheric mid-latitude jet dynamics.

Summer School supervisors are active scientists and typically choose open research questions as projects. The supervisor will mentor the students in the right direction while also giving them space to work and think independently. For many students, this is their first exposure to scientific progress in action, where asking the right questions is at least as important as finding the right answers. Previous students have found this experience changes their view of science as an activity and as a possible career. It also provides a great opportunity to work with people with different backgrounds. LML summer school brings together people from different culture. Through the LML summer school program, successful applicants will be taught different ways to approach a problem and several techniques which will help enrich participant’s knowledge for future research. Seminars are held by fellows which are interesting and good opportunity to know several recent studies.
