SEMINAR ON STOCHASTIC PROCESSES 2020

FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT

Dear colleagues and friends of stochasticity,

The Seminar on Stochastic Processes (SSP) 2020 will be held on March 4-7, 2020 (Wednesday through Saturday) at Michigan State University (MSU), in East Lansing, MI, USA. Apart from informal presentations by conference participants, there will be plenary talks by the following five invited speakers:

This SSP 2020 conference will feature the tenth annual Kai Lai Chung Lecture, honoring Kai Lai Chung's Mathematical career. Kai Lai Chung was one of the leading probabilists of the second half of the twentieth century and one of the founders of the Seminar on Stochastic Processes.

The main conference will be held on March 5-7, 2020.

On March 4, 2020, there will be a special set of tutorial lectures and discussions targeted at early-career researchers. These research lectures will be given by

René Carmona, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ, USA.

We anticipate that there will be financial support for participants to attend the SSP 2020 conference, from the US National Science Foundation, and from MSU's Department of Statistics and Probability.

ANTICIPATED DEADLINE : January 20, 2019, for full consideration of travel support requests.

Further information will become available shortly, on funding and accommodations, and more details about the conference, including the online registration form, at:
