• Wokshop Dynamics and Complexity Pisa 2022 (DCP22), 26-28 Maggio 2022, Pisa

DCP22 è un workshop interdisciplinare su tematiche di dinamica nonlineare, meccanica statistica e complessità in diversi ambiti scientifici: fisica, matematica biologia, fisiologia ecc...). Sarà possibile seguire i lavori del workshop sia in presenza che in streaming.

Ci saranno 48 relatori internazionali e una sessione poster che ospiterà i contributi selezionati. Inoltre al miglior poster, designato da una apposita commissione, verrà elargito un premio finanziato dalla rivista “Chaos Solitons and Fractals" della Elsevier Publishing Inc. Le iscrizioni verranno aperte a breve.

• Conference Coarsegrained2022 (Jul 4-6, 2022, Rome, Italy)

A meeting on "Coarse-grained description for non-equilibrium systems and transport phenomena” will be held in Rome, at the central building of the CNR (in front of the Sapienza University campus), from 4th to 6th of July 2022. The conference - which is organised by CNR, Camerino University, Firenze University, Sapienza, Sissa and Vanvitelli University, will include talks on several topics of statistical mechanics, particularly non-equilibrium, with a more general first day, a second day focused on active and granular matter, and a third day to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Boltzmann equation. At the website https://sites.google.com/view/coarsegrained2022 the list of speakers and other information are already available. The conference is in presence (but streaming will also be available) and there is no participation fee. However we ask all people who intend to participate to fill the registration form available on the website.

• Workshop “Complex Systems: from Physics to Biomedicine”, 10 maggio 2022, Roma

L’Accademia Nazionale delle Scienze detta dei XL festeggia il socio Giorgio Parisi, Premio Nobel per la Fisica (2021) con un Workshop “Complex Systems: from Physics to Biomedicine” che si svolgerà il 10 maggio p.v. presso il Teatro di Villa Torlonia a Roma, gentilmente concesso in uso dalla Sovrintendenza Capitolina ai beni Culturali.

La necessità di sviluppare nuovi approcci per indagare la complessità dei sistemi naturali e artificiali è uno dei maggiori temi di indagine del tempo presente anche per fronteggiare urgenze sociali e sfide economiche. Per una miglior comprensione della complessità biologica, è necessaria una forte integrazione delle scienze della vita e delle scienze computazionali. L’obiettivo è scoprire i modelli che governano processi fisiologici o patologici complessi.

Durante la sessione pomeridiana ricercatori interessati potranno presentare comunicazioni brevi.
In allegato la locandina dell'evento, contenente la call for abstracts, le modalità di sottomissione dei contributi e le modalità di partecipazione e registrazione.

• Boltzmann lecture 2022: Statistical mechanics of metals without quasiparticles, and of charged black holes

The 2022 edition of the traditional Boltzmann lecture will take place online on 21 February at 3pm. Professor Subir Sachdev from Harvard University will hold a lectio entitled “Statistical mechanics of metals without quasiparticles, and of charged black holes”

Abstract: The very successful theory of metals is based upon a Boltzmann equation for electronic quasiparticles. But the “strange metals” found in high temperature superconductors do not have well-defined quasiparticle excitations, which raises the problem of a theory of electrical transport in such metals. In their quantum theory of charged black holes, Gibbons and Hawking applied the Boltzmann-Gibbs ensemble to the Einstein-Maxwell theory, and obtained results for black hole entropy which did not have an evident interpretation in terms of the eigenstates of a quantum Hamiltonian. I will describe progress in resolving these long-standing problems in very different fields of physics using insights from the solvable Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model of fermions with random interactions.

• Statistical Physics of Deep Learning, Lake Como School of Advanced Studies

The Statistical Physics of Deep Learning Lake Como School of Adavanced Studies take place in Como, Italy, from June 13th to June 17th 2022.

The school is designed to give an overview of the statistical-mechanical principles underlying deep learning.
The school is aimed primarily at the growing audience of early-stage researchers (graduate students, advanced master students and postdocs) interested in fundamental aspects of machine learning, beyond a simple black-box approach. Our lectures will provide a critical introduction to deep neural network rooted in a statistical physics perspective. It will expose the participants to applications to a wide range of problems, mainly of physical nature.

Application deadline: 15 April 2022

Organizing Committee: Francesco Ginelli (Universita’ dell’Insubria, Como, Italy), Marco Gherardi (Universita’ di Milano, Italy), Guido Tiana (Universita’ di Milano, Italy), Alessandro Laio (SISSA, Trieste, Italy)

• AMLD22 AI&Physics track

The AI&Physics track at the Applied Machine Learning Days 2022 is looking for contributed talks and posters!

Machine Learning and Physics share a long and rich history that led to major developments in both sides. The goal of the AI&Physics track is to keep this synergy going, and to provide a space where researchers from both sides can meet and exchange ideas. We will have the pleasure to hear high-profile invited speakers that will delve into the interplay between AI and Physics, as well as contributed talks and posters. If you think your work fits in, please apply to contribute to our track!

The AI&Physics track will be held in person at the SwissTech Convention Center, EPFL, Lausanne, on the afternoon of March 28th, 2022. We are accepting applications for 15 minute talks and for posters. If you want to apply, follow the link!

Application deadline: Feb 4, 2022.

• VII Mediterranean School of Complex Networks

From 2022 the Mediterranean School of Complex Networks and the International School of Informatics and Dynamics in Complex Networks have joined their forces into a single event. Given the success of the past editions (2014-2015-2016-2017-2018-2019) of the Mediterranean School of Complex Networks, we call for applications to the 7th Edition in 2022. If you are curious about the past editions, you can find more information in the new "From the School" section of the Journal of Complex Networks: https://doi.org/10.1093/comnet/cny035.
