报告摘要：This talk is a guided tour in the zoo of probabilistic and statistical physics models based on random walks. I will review some of the classsic and modern results, and will also take a glimpse into some future directions.

报告人简介：Professor Jian Ding received his B.S. from Peking University in 2006 and his Ph.D. from The University of California, Berkeley, in 2011. He has been a postdoc at Stanford and a faculty member at the University of Chicago and the University of Pennsylvania. Jian Ding is currently a chair professor at Peking University. Ding works on probability theory, emphasizing its interactions with statistical physics, theoretical computer science, and statistical learning theory. He is also interested in probability questions arising from "application-oriented" problems. With various coauthors, he has contributed to topics including random constraint satisfaction problems, random planar geometry, random field Ising models, random walks in random environments, and random Schrödinger operators. Ding has received quite a few recognitions, including the ICM invited lecture (2022), the Xplorer Prize (2023), the Rollo Davidson prize (2017),  the ICCM gold medal (2022), and the Loève Prize (2023).
