Xi'an's Og

This morning I am off to Oaxaca, Mexico, for a week-long workshop which aims at bringing together a mixed audience of statisticians who are using and developing computational methods, researchers involved in computational statistical mechanics and its applications (e.g., materials science, biophysics), and applied mathematicians studying numerical methods used in the field of application from a mathematical viewpoint. As a co-organiser, with Gabriel Stolz and Luke Bornn, I hope that the workshop will truly see the start of a pragmatic cross-fertilization between fields through the exchange of ideas and methods such as research lectures, discussions, and practical sessions based on benchmark systems. This is also my first time at the Casa Matemática Oaxaca, as opposed to my several stays at BIRS, and I am quite excited to discover the place (although the workshop will take place in an hotel as the conference facilities are still under completion after that many years!) and the surroundings. (This is also my second visit to Mexico after the ISBA conference in Cancún in 2014.)
