Aspects of Random Walks
one-day event in memory of Iain MacPhee
The meeting was aimed at researchers (including postgraduate students) with an interest in random walks and related topics.
The Iain MacPhee memorial event, adjacent to the random walks meeting, was a celebration of Iain's research interests, which, in addition to random walks, included queueing theory, optimization, and other topics in probability theory and stochastic processes.
Our friend and colleague Iain MacPhee passed away on 13th January 2012. Some information that he wrote about his work can be found here.
