Signal processing and inference for the physical sciences

• 9.00am – 5.00pm on 26 March 2012 – 27 March 2012
• at The Royal Society, London

Organised by Dr Nick Jones and Dr Thomas Maccarone

Registration for this event is now open - click here to register.

We will bring together two vibrant research groups for an exchange of ideas: physical scientists working with challenging data and needing tools to make the most of it; and analysts not yet working in these rich scientific fields.  Speakers cover applications across astrophysics, biological physics, geophysics and earth sciences and meet those from applied mathematics, computer science, engineering and statistics. We aim to open the world of new methods for data analysis to the physical scientist and accelerate the integration of data analysts into physical science. For further details on speakers see this draft programme.

Confirmed speakers include:

Professor Christopher Bishop, Professor Neil Cornish, Professor Zoubin Ghahramani, Professor Mark Girolami, Dr Michael Hedlin, Professor Aapo Hyvarinen, Professor Hod Lipson, Dr Max Little, Professor Sofia Olhede, Professor Stephen Roberts, Professor Malcolm Sambridge, Dr Mukund Thattai, Professor Jens Timmer, Dr Simon Vaughan, Professor Paul Vitanyi and Professor Andrew Walden.

The proceedings of this meeting are scheduled to be published in a future issue of Philosophical Transactions A.

Registration
