3rd Brig Workshop on Dissipativity in Systems and Control
FernUni Schweiz - UniDistance Suisse, Schinerstrasse 18, 3900 Brig
From Tuesday 9th of June 2026 to Thursday 11th of June 2026.
We celebrate in this meeting the career of Erwin Bolthasen in occasion of his 80th birthday. His scientific journey has touched many of the milestones in the development of probability theory over the past 50 years, spanning interacting particle systems, scaling limits, large deviations, and lattice models in statistical mechanics, as well as spin glasses, disordered systems, log-correlated random fields, and random walks in random environments, among others.
While honoring Erwin's contributions, the meeting also aims to illuminate future directions in probability theory and statistical mechanics.
