Elizabeth Gardner Lectures
Elizabeth Gardner was a brilliant scientist, an alumna and a member of staff of the University of Edinburgh at the time of her passing. Her work laid the foundations of the theory of neural networks with her work on optimal storage capacity. She also discovered the Gardner transition from one-step to full replica symmetry breaking within the scheme for which Giorgio Parisi was awarded a Nobel Prize in Physics in 2021.

Elizabeth Gardner Lecture - Elizabeth's contributions to the theory of disordered systems and neural networks—Bernard DERRIDA
After her PhD in High Energy Physics at the University of Oxford, Elizabeth Gardner spent two years as a postdoc in the theoretical group at Saclay with the support of a Royal Society Fellowship. It was there where she started to work on the theory of disordered systems and she ...

Inaugural Elizabeth Gardner Lecture - Emergent collective behaviour and complexity—Giorgio PARISI
Giorgio Parisi (Nobel Prize in Physics 2021) will give the Inaugural Elizabeth Gardner Lecture and will describe one of the underlying mechanisms in the complex cooperative behaviour observed in many natural systems, such as neural networks, biological evolution, glassy materials and protein folding.
"I will discuss the general problem of ...
