The complete list, including all invited seminars back to 2005 and the accompanying slides, is preserved in the full lecture archive.
Invited lecture courses
Multi-day courses with notes and slides released openly. Teaching a method to a room of doctoral students is the most reliable way to make it the tool they reach for later.
