13-15 June 2008, Princeton, NJ
Modern applied mathematics seeks to understand and quantify a broad range of phenomena throughout the physical, biological, engineering, industrial, and economic worlds. Due to the inherent complexity and random nature of many of the phenomena and systems which are studied, the use of techniques which directly take into account and exploit their stochastic properties to understand their behavior are very powerful and widely used.
This international conference, sponsored by the National Science Foundation, the Office of Naval Research, the ORFE Department and the Bendheim Center for Finance at Princeton University, will bring together many leading applied mathematicians working in these and related areas, to report on recent developments of broad interest, and to point the way for exciting directions for future research. There will also be a number of talks by prominent junior researchers.

Guest of Honor
The conference theme is inspired by the unique career trajectory of Professor René Carmona, and we intend to use the occasion of the conference also to celebrate his 60th birthday. René Carmona over the past 30 years has had a great impact in developing and applying stochastic methods to a wide array of problems, from Mathematical Physics, to Computational Statistics, Signal Processing, and recent interests in Mathematical Finance. Through his influence on students, postdoctoral associates, junior faculty, and senior colleagues, Professor Carmona has advanced application of stochastic analysis in a unique and far-reaching manner.
