Nadia Dachlythra & Alexandre Adler | Flatiron Institute CCA | Adriaan Duivenvoorden | 26 January to 11 February 2024 | Evaluating simulation-based inference methods for CMB component separation and foreground parameters estimation, applied to ground-based telescopes. Learning efficient methods for scientific computing and machine learning. | |
Isabelle John | Stanford KIPAC | Rebecca Leane | 27 January to 10 February 2024 | Studying the effect of dark matter capture in stars at the Galactic center by developing a module in the stellar evolution code MESA | |
Alexander Riley | Flatiron Institute CCA | Danny Horta | 20 February to 1 March 2024 | Inferring the mass and accretion times of Milky Way mergers using present-day observables and cosmological simulations. Establish a model based on the Auriga cosmological simulations to infer key properties of Milky Way accretion events, focusing on the impact of tidal disruption (intact satellite vs stellar stream vs phase-mixed debris) | |
Judit Prat | UCL | Niall Jeffrey | 14 to 19 April 2024 | Facilitating collaboration with Niall Jeffrey and Joshua Williamson at UCL on a simulation-based inference project for weak lensing maps, whilst also attending a relevant scientific discussion meeting held at the Royal Society ("Challenging the standard cosmological model"). Engaging with the UCL cosmology group for potential new collaborations. | |
