Starting next week, there will be an intense sequence of general audience talks at the ITS Science Colloquium, by Rainer Weiss, Ranit Aharonov and Miranda Cheng, on subjects of interest across disciplines.

Today is the starting day of the programme on topics at the boundary between mathematics and physics.

Gerhard Huisken, Leonid Glazman and Ulrike Riess join the ETH Institute for Theoretical Studies during the Spring Semester.

The ETH Institute for Theoretical Studies hosts a series of lectures on collective dynamics, control and imaging, with the aim to establish contacts across disciplines and facilitate exchange of ideas between researchers interested in these subjects from different fields.

The Institute welcomes the two new Senior Fellows Jean-Michel Coron and Claire Voisin.

Shoham Letzter, of the University of Cambridge, and Will Sawin, of Princeton University, join the ETH Institute for Theoretical Studies as Junior Fellows at the beginning of September.

Three new Senior Fellows join the ETH Institute for Theoretical Studies this summer to stay for the coming academic year.  Their research interests cover a broad spectrum in mathematics and physics with applications to material science, engineering and computer science.

This semester there are six Senior Fellows staying at the ETH Institute for Theoretical Studies. They cover a wide range of topics in mathematics, physics and computer science and contribute to various activities at the Institute and at ETH.

Cosmologist Robert Brandenberger and mathematician Walter Schachermayer will spend a year the ETH Institute for Theoretical Studies as senior fellows from August 2015.  They will be joined in September 2015 by six starting junior fellows: Alessandro Carlotto, Maria Colombo, Lavinia Heisenberg, Titus Lupu, Aline Ramires and Ran Tessler. In november another senior fellow, particle physicist Riccardo Barbieri, will also join.

Henryk Iwaniec, Senior Fellow at the ETH Institute for Theoretical Studies for the academic year 2014/2015, was awarded the Shaw Prize in Mathematical Sciences 2015.

Harvard condensed matter physicist Eugene Demler and returning Senior Fellow Terry Hwa will join the ETH Institute this coming month.

Computer scientist Adi Shamir and mathematician Alex Lubotzky are the first new Senior Fellows joining the ETH Institute for Theoretical Studies in 2015.
