Stochastic Computation Workshop at FoCM 2026 – Vienna, Austria

📅 Dates: July 13–15, 2026
📍 Location: Vienna, Austria
🔗 Workshop Information

🎲 I’m excited to be co-organizing the Stochastic Computation Workshop at FoCM 2026, alongside Mireille Bossy and David Cohen: two outstanding researchers with deep expertise in the field. The workshop will take place July 13-15 in Vienna, Austria.

We’ll focus on recent developments at the intersection of stochastic processes and numerical analysis, with topics including:

  • Markov Chain Monte Carlo
  • Numerical methods for SDEs and SPDEs
  • Diffusion-based generative modeling

Here is the list of confirmed speakers.

Semi-plenaries

  • Charles-Edouard Bréhier — Université de Pau et des Pays de l’Adour (LMAP)
  • Andreas Eberle — University of Bonn, Institute for Applied Mathematics

There will also be a poster session (up to 15 posters), and we strongly encourage PhD students and early-career researchers to apply.

If you’re working in stochastic computation or nearby areas, I hope you’ll consider joining us. It’s going to be a great chance to share ideas, connect with others in the community, and enjoy everything that FoCM, and Vienna in July, has to offer.

Hope to see you there!
