I will discuss certain geometric properties of random matrices
with independent logarithmically concave columns, obtained in the last
several years jointly with O. Guedon, A. Litvak, A. Pajor and N.
Tomczak-Jaegermann. In particular I will discuss estimates on the largest
and smallest singular values of such matrices and rates on convergence of
empirical approximations to covariance matrices of log-concave measures
(the Kannan-Lovasz-Simonovits problem).
