RESERVE MY SPOT
Several years ago, David Zmiaikou obtained his Ph.D. degree at the University Paris-Sud (Orsay) under the supervision of Professor Jean-Christophe Yoccoz. After that, he visited the mathematical institute IMPA in Rio de Janeiro thanks to the Balzan research project of Professor Jacob Palis. As a part of David's European Post-Doctoral Institute (EPDI) fellowship, he worked at:
- Erwin Schrödinger Institute for Mathematical Physics, Vienna, Austria;
- Institute for Mathematical Research, Zürich, Switzerland;
- Institut des Hautes Etudes Scientifiques, Bures-sur Yvette, France;
- Max Planck Institute for Mathematics Bonn, Germany.
Afterwards, David did postdoctoral research in DNA analysis at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute in the United Kingdom.
The objective of the course is to provide a vivid introduction to probability theory by uncovering its basic
notions and techniques. Some of them have applications in computer science.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
ABOUT DAVID
Probability theory plays a significant role in science, finance and industry. Whenever there is a
non-deterministic experiment, one would like to describe possible outcomes and to measure their
likelihoods (in other words, to find their probabilities).
During this course, we will give an elementary outline of probability with examples and applications. We will start by explaining relevant counting tools and strategies, then we will introduce probability and give useful properties.
