News!

- I am currently delivering a series of lectures of three hours each (except for the first lecture, which was `only' two hours and was followed by a cocktail party). I started on Jan. 23 in the prestigious Collège de France (more precisely, in one of its annexe buildings, which is located 3 rue d'Ulm, Paris 5ème). Next lectures are scheduled on Jan. 30, Feb. 6 and 13, and March 5, 12 and 19, between 1:30pm and 4:30pm. I will speak mainly about my recent works on Stein's method, Malliavin calculus and free probability. Here is the dedicated poster. Also, following this link, you can download some lecture notes. Here is another link, where you can see the videos of the lectures. NEW! I am glad to announce that Giovanni Peccati will be my guest lecturer for the session of Feb. 13.

- With Giovanni Peccati, we just completed the draft version of our book entitled "Normal Approximations Using Malliavin Calculus: from Stein's Method to Universality" (link to Amazon), and we sent it to the publisher (Cambridge University Press). It should be available soon!

- On 9-10-11 May 2012, I organize with Céline Lacaux and Samy Tindel the world-famous `Stan Days' in Nancy. More informations can be found in the dedicated webpage.

- The COSA special issue on Gaussian processes, for which I acted as an associate editor, is now published (table of contents, preface)

- I maintain a special webpage on Stein's method and Malliavin calculus (comments are most welcome!)
