FoCM 2017

Random Matrices

Barcelona, July 13th-15th, 2017

This workshop is part of the triennial FoCM conference series, organized by the Society for Foundations of Computational Mathematics. The next edition will be held in Barcelona, July 10th-19th, 2017.

FoCM 2017 brings together mathematicians, numerical analysts, computer scientists and engineers all interested in a deeper understanding of mathematics and the computational process.

We are organizing a workshop on random matrix theory, algorithms and applications at FoCM 2017 that focuses on the theory and applications of random matrices. It is unique in the sense the "users" and "producers" of random matrix theory from the entire breadth of science and engineering are being brought together.

Our speakers will speak about the role of random matrices in a variety of areas that include statistical signal processing, machine learning, numerical algorithms, analysis, wireless communications, array processing, computational electromagnetics, uncertainty quantification, optics, and multivariate statistics.
