News from the IceCube Neutrino Observatory and Related Phenomenology It has been ten years since IceCube, a neutrino detector embedded in the Antarctic glacier, has detected high-energy astrophysical neutrinos. In […]

Community, Standardisation, and Reproducibility: does open-source software help advancing high-energy astrophysics? In this talk, I will discuss how high-energy astrophysics, and gamma-ray astronomy in particular, are being transformed by several […]

Pulsar polarization: explanations and applications Pulsar radio emission, and particularly its polarization, is a key probe of neutron star physics. This, in turn, means that we can use it to […]

Machine Learning: from Quantum Technologies to Neuromorphic Devices  

Evidence for high-energy neutrinos from the Galactic plane The Milky Way, our home galaxy, is visible to the eye as a faint band of light in the night sky. This […]

Looking for dark matter in gamma rays - can machine learning help? We live in a ‘golden’ time for studies of high-energy (HE) astrophysics as a series of satellite and […]

Civilian and military use of nuclear technology To exploit nuclear technology for civilian purposes, in particular energy production, a variety of facilities - a nuclear fuel cycle - is necessary, […]

Exploring the signatures of cosmic ray feedback effects in galaxy ecosystems Cosmic rays go hand-in-hand with violent and energetic astrophysical conditions. They are an active agent within galactic and circumgalactic […]

Recent Highlights from the VERITAS AGN Program VERITAS is one of the world’s most sensitive detectors of astrophysical very high energy (VHE; E > 100 GeV) gamma rays. This observatory […]

Improving our understanding of machine learning robustness - in microscopy and beyond A central goal when applying machine learning in the biomedical research and medical imaging is to answer relevant […]

Muon Hunting with the Crowd: Combining Humans and Machines to Solve Big Data Problems In this presentation, I will describe the Zooniverse.org citizen science platform as a tool to gather […]
