[Statlist] Stiefel Lecture 2025 -- 12 May 2025 -- ETH Zurich, HG F 30

[Kaiser-Heinzmann Susanne]

ETH Foundations of Data Science (ETH-FDS) announces and invites you to the annual Stiefel Lecture.

The Stiefel Lecture 2025 will be given by Prof. Andrew Stuart, Caltech, USA, on 

Monday, 12 May 2025 at 17:15.
ETH Zurich, HG F 30 (Audi Max)

The talk will be followed by an apero.

The Stiefel Lecture has been created in honor of Eduard Stiefel (1909-1978) who was professor of mathematics at ETH Zürich. Stiefel has been the driving force for establishing "electronic scientific computing" with ERMETH (Elektronische Rechenmaschine der ETH). This became a landmark in computational and mathematical sciences with a huge impact to a broad range of applications in engineering and natural science. Stiefel has made fundamental and lasting contributions in mathematics, including the introduction of the Stiefel-Whitney classes, the Stiefel manifold and the conjugate gradient method. Stiefel advised 63 PhD students, many of whom became leaders in their field.

We cordially invite you to this year's Stiefel Lecture with Andrew Stuart and look forward to meeting you there.

With kind regards,

Peter Bühlmann
