Europe/Rome Martingales are paradigmatic stochastic processes used in probability theory and finance as models of fair financial markets with no net gain or loss. The tool of martingales has been shown to be crucial in financial analysis with fruitful applications in the context of option pricing. In physics, martingales have not been explored much yet. Over the last few years, a new martingale formulation of the non-equilibrium thermodynamics of small systems has been developed within the field of stochastic thermodynamics. This workshop will establish an interdisciplinary dialogue on the use of martingales as “skeleton key” to the fluctuating world of finance and stochastic thermodynamics, and explore novel connections between these fields.

Workshop on Martingales in Finance and Physics

Address: Via Beirut 2

Room: Room D, SISSA building, Level -1

Seminar Start Time: 09:00

Europe/Rome Sensors are an integral part of any instrumentation, mechanical assembly, automobile engineering, heavy engineering, drug-delivery vehicles, national surveillance gadgets or any electromagnetic application unit, such as antennas and communication electronics. A need for smart, adaptive, miniaturized, extremely sensitive, selective and rapid sensor is always on anvil. Nanomaterials are offering promising options to improve the conventional sensors and to develop advanced sensors which would be adaptive, faster, selective and more precise. Nanotechnology has been dominating applied research frontiers for more than a decade now. The research has an emphasis on exploring novel materials with exotic properties, which are attributed to their nano-size-regimes. Typically explored examples are metals, oxides and chalcogenides, in their pure and composite forms. Through this presentation a brief outline on the progress of science and technology, in the domain of sensors will be given. Frequency detections; low-field and frequency (electric and magnetic fields and ultra-low-frequency signals), high frequency (radio frequencies in Radar range) detections will be discussed. Biosensors being developed for disease diagnostics and smart drug delivery vehicles would be also elaborated in this presentation. Various approaches used in the investigators laboratory would be elaborated; namely, the optical fiber approach, metamaterial approach and conventional resistive approach. The relationships of the obtained properties would be associated with the physics and chemistry at nano-level and their energy dynamics for sensing a particular physical parameter.

Europe/Rome ***DEADLINE TO SUBMIT APPLICATIONS: 31 MAY 2019 *** Animals have to move in order to accomplish fundamental tasks such as foraging, migration and mating. They navigate the environment by collecting information through their senses, integrating the different inputs and generating a motor response that finally results in efficient search strategies. How do different organisms solve similar problems? Are there unifying principles? How are neural circuits organized so as to direct appropriate behavior? Can animal behavior provide useful inspiration for robotics applications? Can results from decision-making theory improve our understanding of animal behavior? How can physical and mathematical modeling contribute to advance our knowledge? This workshop aims at gathering physicists, biologists, neuroscientists, and computer scientists to offer their diverse perspectives and explore new directions for research and opportunities for collaborations in this rapidly developing field.
