Overview
This is an invitational workshop with a limited number of participants designed for in-depth one-on-one scientific interactions. The workshop will concentrate on specific probabilistic
tools addressing certain mathematical and numerical problems in
stochastic gravitational lensing.
Petters Research Institute strongly encourages its foreign visitors to have a cultural and
nature-based experience while in Belize. This may include visiting
Garifuna, Mayan, and Mennonite communities, as well as
rain forest reserves, cayes, wildlife sanctuaries, Mayan temples, etc.
