Three Vignettes at the Interface of Statistics, Algorithms and Statistical Physics: Random Fields in Ising Systems; Image Reconstruction and Beam Emittance

Phillip M Duxbury, Dean, College of Natural Science, Department of Physics and Astronomy, Michigan State University, USA

I will talk about two problems that my group works on; random field Ising problems and Image reconstruction; where active physics/math collaborations have revealed new methods for solving hard physics problems. I will also talk about the emittance of many particle beams which also deals with issues that are familiar to statisticians, but where modern statistics results have not yet been applied.
