Florent Krzakala is a Professor in physics at Université Pierre et Marie in Paris, France, and is doing his research in Ecole Normale Supérieure on statistical physics and disordered systems. Currently, he is leading a research team working on the development of interdisciplinary methods between statistical physics and computer science.
Federico Ricci-Tersenghi is Associate Professor at the University of Rome La Sapienza, Italy. He his the co-author of "Scientific Programming: C-Language, Algorithms and Models in Science". He has an interest in the statistical physics of disordered systems, such as spin glasses, glasses, networks, optimization problems, inference and learning.
Eric W. Tramel is a postdoctoral research fellow at Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris, France, researching the
interface between statistical physics and signal processing from the perspective of electrical computer engineering.
Riccardo Zecchina is a professor at the Politecnico di Torino, Italy. His research interest lies at the interface between statistical physics, computer science, information theory and computational biology. Curently, he us engaged in applying the statistical physics techniques to inverse problems that arise in computational biology and neuroscience.
