Information

SNAD-VIII work­shop will take place in Armenia from 29 June to 5 July 2025. 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.


Villa Loft, Yerevan, Armenia


Participants

Maria Pruzhinskaya

astronomer

Researcher at Sternberg astronomical insitute (Russia). 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 four 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. She is a leader of the Cosmostatistics Initiative (COIN). Homepage: https://emilleishida.com

Alina Volnova

astronomer

Alina works at Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Moscow). Her main scientific interests are gamma-ray bursts and their optical counterparts. She contributes to the observations of a binary neutron star merger detected through gravitational waves by the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo detectors. Alina is an incredible musician and vocalist.

Vladimir Korolev

aeronautical scientist

Lecturer at the Department of Aeromechanics and Flight Engineering of Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT). The main scientific interests are aircraft dynamics, control systems, identification of aerodynamic characteristics.

Sreevarsha Sreejith

astronomer

Astrophysicist from India, with the twin pet peeves of machine learning and galaxies. Sreevarsha works as a research associate at Brookhaven National Laboratory. She is currently working on deblending galaxy images using deep learning.

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.

Emmanuel Gangler

cosmologist

Emmanuel Gangler is a CNRS researcher at LPC-Clermont Ferrand, France. He is an expert in supernova standardization and cosmology. Emmanuel is interested in feature importance for anomaly detection and deep learning.

Timofey Semenikhin

student

Timofey is a student at the Faculty of Space Research at Lomonosov Moscow State University. He has been involved in constructing superluminous supernovae bolometric light curves using machine learning methods. Currently, his work focuses on real-bogus classification of ZTF objects employing neural networks.

Program
