  <title><![CDATA[Vazirani Helps Organize Theoretical CS Workshops]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p><strong>(December 22, 2006)--</strong>College of Computing Professor Vijay Vazirani recently co-organized a theoretical computer science workshop at Princeton University, concentrating on biology, neuroscience, nanotechnology and ecology. Vazirani will host a second workshop series at Caltech in March, focusing on economics, quantum computing, statistical physics, high energy physics and control theory.</p>
<p>“Broadly, the theme is how algorithms, and more generally theoretical computer science can lead to fundamental insights into other sciences,” says Vazirani. Both workshops are funded by the National Science Foundation, and will result in a 25-page report by Vazirani and the organizing committee.</p>

  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me
         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
