Keynote Speakers
Prof. Benedict Leimkuhler
University of Edinburgh, UK
Prof. Benedict Leimkuhler has research interests in algorithms for MCMC sampling, e.g. Langevin integration algorithms and advanced sampling methods (simulated tempering, ensemble quasi-Newton samplers, diffusion-map based enhanced sampling, sampling on manifolds, and adaptive/generalised Langevin) as well as specialised methods for deep neural network training. He has held fellowships from the Leverhulme Foundation and the Alan Turing Institute, and is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh. He currently leads the MAC-MIGS Centre for Doctoral Training which is to train around 80 PhD students in mathematical modelling, applied analysis and computing and is on editorial boards of the SIAM Journal of Uncertainty Quantification, the IMA Journal on Numerical Analysis and the AIMS Journals of Computational Dynamics and Foundations of Data Science.
