For Students

 

 

If you want to be my student:

 

Currently, I am looking for full-time dedicated students:

>  with a good background in probability and computer science for research projects on applications of

     methods of statistical mechanics in computer science.

 

>  with a good background in algebra (in particular category theory) for some theoretical research projects

    related to quantization and quantum field theory in discrete spaces.

 

>  with a good background in graph theory for research projects on applications of discrete spectral geometry

    and Markov chain methods in graph theory.

 

>  with a good background in theory of computation for a research project on foundations of  AI.

 

If you are already my student:

 

> Generally interesting

 

- Randy Pausch's "Time Management"

 

> Use the following sources to learn how to write a scientific text correctly
