Research
My research is centred on
information theory. One of my
interests is how to use ideas from information theory
to derive results
in probability theory. These ideas are also relevant
in the theory of
statistical tests. I am also interested in quantum
information theory,
and I think that information theory sheds new light on
the problems of
the foundation of quantum mechanics. I have also
worked on the
relation between Bayesian networks and
irreversibility, and my ultimate
goal is to build a bridge between these ideas and
information theory.
List of Publications
I have made a BibTeX file with a
lot of items related
to information theory.
Editorial
work
I
am editor of the journal Entropy
(previously I was Editor-in-Chief). This is a free
online
journal that publishes articles about entropy and
related concepts, and
their numerous applications.
I serve
as
reviewer of numerous other journals including:
Mathematical Reviews,
IEEE Trans. Inform. Theory, Physica
A,
JIPAM, and many others.
Events
ISIT
2012 Takes place in Boston, USA
this year. One presentation entitled Information
Divergence is more chi square distributed than the chi
square statistics.
Minischool on measure
concentration, Prague 21-22/8 2012. Organized by F.
Matus. I will give one lecture on Improvements of
Hoeffding's Inequality and one lecture on log-Sobolev
Inequalities.
WITMSE 2012
Workshop on Information Theoretic Methods in Science
and Engineering,
27-30 August, 2012, Amsterdam, The Netherlands. I will
give one presentation entitled Central Inequality
Theorems.
