[Statlist] Stiefel Lectures, November 28, 2023, ETH Zurich, HG F 30, 17:15

[Maurer Letizia]

ETH Foundations of Data Science (ETH-FDS) announces the annual Stiefel Lecture. 

The Stiefel Lecture will be given by Professor Daniela M. Witten, University of Washington, on November 28, 2023, ETH Zurich, HG F 30 at 17:15.

The Stiefel Lecture has been created in honor of Eduard Stiefel (1909-1978) who was professor of mathematics at ETH Zürich. Stiefel has been the driving force for establishing "electronic scientific computing" with ERMETH (Elektronische Rechenmaschine der ETH). This became a landmark in computational and mathematical sciences with a huge impact to a broad range of applications in engineering and natural science. Stiefel has made fundamental and lasting contributions in mathematics, including the introduction of the Stiefel-Whitney classes, the Stiefel manifold and the conjugate gradient method. Stiefel advised 63 PhD students, many of whom became leaders in their field. 

The talk will be followed by an apero. 

We cordially invite you to attend the Stiefel Lecture. 

Looking forward to meeting you at this special event.

With kind regards,


ETH Foundations of Data Science
