Information

SNAD-VII work­shop will take place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It will be or­ga­nized in hy­brid for­mat, hav­ing in-per­son and on­line par­tic­i­pants. The main topic of the work­shop is the anom­aly de­tec­tion prob­lem in as­tro­physics with fo­cus on fast tran­sients and su­per­lu­mi­nous su­per­novae. The re­sults of the SNAD-VI workshop can be found here.


Participants

Maria Pruzhinskaya

as­tronomer

Re­searcher of Lab­o­ra­toire de Physique de Cler­mont (France). The main sci­en­tific in­ter­ests are su­per­novae of all types. How­ever, Type Ia su­per­novae seems to be the fa­vorite one. As a post-doc, Maria spent two years in Clermont-Ferrand, that's why she can eas­ily dis­tin­guish 6 se­maines Saint-Nectaire from 8 se­maines. Home­page: https://pruzhinskaya.com

Matwey Kornilov

as­tronomer

If you are us­ing Linux, then you al­ready came across Matwey's code. You can learn more about Matwey by look­ing at his GitHub ac­count.

Konstantin Malanchev

as­tronomer

Python lover. Kon­stan­tin works as a re­searcher at Stern­berg As­tro­nom­i­cal In­sti­tute and as an as­so­ci­ate pro­fes­sor at Higher School of Eco­nom­ics (Moscow). He de­fended his PhD on Non-sta­tion­ary processes in as­tro­phys­i­cal ac­cre­tion discs un­der the su­per­vi­sion of Prof. N.I. Shakura. Now he is dream­ing to study dif­fer­ent ma­chine learn­ing meth­ods in as­tro­physics. Kon­stan­ti­n's GitHub.

Emille Ishida

as­tronomer

Brazil­ian physi­cist, work­ing in As­tron­omy and dis­cov­er­ing Sta­tis­tics. Emille's re­search is fo­cused in Type Ia Su­per­novae (pho­to­met­ric clas­si­fi­ca­tion, char­ac­ter­i­za­tion and cos­mo­log­i­cal ap­pli­ca­tion), ma­chine learn­ing, Bayesian mod­el­ing and the con­nec­tions be­tween them.

Anastasia Lavrukhina

stu­dent

Stu­dent of the Fac­ulty of Space Re­search at MSU. The main sci­en­tific in­ter­ests are the ap­pli­ca­tion of ma­chine learn­ing meth­ods to as­tro­phys­i­cal data and ob­ject de­tec­tion in large data sets.
