About:

The purpose of this conference is to bring together researchers working on random walks, correlated percolation models, mixing and cutoff, in order to foster interaction and collaboration and to identify interesting future directions for research. There has been a lot of progress recently in these three areas of research and major breakthrough results were possible due to cross fertilisation of ideas between fields. 

The conference will have a light programme and will provide a lot of time for open problem sessions, discussions and collaboration.

Invited participants were sent email invites by ICMS in December 2024.
