Signal processing for the physical sciences

28 - 29 March 2012 09:00 - 17:00

Satellite meeting organised by Dr Nick Jones and Dr Thomas Maccarone

Event details

We aim to help  bring together cutting edge methods from data analysis with pressing data challenges in the physical sciences. In particular we focus on challenges involving time-series data.  This meeting develops the themes of the preceding larger meeting in a more informal setting with more opportunity for dialogue. 

This meeting was preceded by a related discussion meeting Signal processing and inference for the physical sciences 26 – 27 March 2012. 

Biographies of the organisers and speakers are available below.  Audio recordings are freely available and the programme can be downloaded here.

Organisers

  • Dr Nick Jones, University of Oxford, UK

    Nick Jones, Imperial Mathematics, works on topics relating to the designed disordered world around us. This concerns both how we should perform inference about the systems around us and how they in turn perform inference themselves.

     

  • Dr Thomas Maccarone, University of Southampton, UK

    "Tom Maccarone works across a broad range of topics in astrophysics, but he received his PhD at Yale University for a thesis on the variability of X-ray emission from accretion flows onto black holes and neutron stars.

    It was from this work that his interest in signal processing began, as these systems present a rich phenomenology of variability, much of which is poorly understood.  He hopes this meeting will fertilize time domain astrophysics with new techniques to apply to old problems.  After his PhD he moved to Europe, taking on postdoctoral fellowships at the Scuola Internazionale Superiore di Studi Avanzati and the University of Amsterdam, before taking on a faculty position at the University of Southampton."
