Random Waves in Oxford

18 - 22 June 2018, University of Oxford.

    Following the success of "Random Waves in London" we are organizing the second conference: "Random Waves in Oxford" which will bring together researchers interested the geometric properties of random waves and related problems in Probability Theory, Number Theory and Differential Equations.

    The conference will take place on 18-22 June 2018 at the University of Oxford.

    The organizing committee:

    • Dmitry Beliaev (Oxford)
    • Zeev Rudnick (Tel Aviv)
    • Igor Wigman (King's College London)

    Local organizers:

    • Michael McAuley (Oxford)
    • Riccardo Maffucci (Oxford)
    • Nadav Yesha (King's College London)

    The conference is funded by the European Research Council (ERC) and Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC)

    Getting to Oxford

    Information about getting to Oxford from airports and London could be found on Mathematical Institute web page. From both Oxford Train Station and Gloucester Green Coach Station one can reach St. Luke's Chapel and the Cotswold Lodge Hotel either by local buses or by taxi (should be under £10 ).

    Local Information

    Participants accommodated by the organizers are staying in the Cotswold Lodge Hotel which is 10 minutes walk from St. Luke's Chapel where the talks are going to be. Lunches, the reception and the conference dinner are going to be in St. Anne's College which is accross the street from St. Luke's Chapel.
