Scientific Data Analysis School 2019

25 Nov 2019, 09:00 → 28 Nov 2019, 19:30 Europe/Rome

Scuola Normale Superiore

The school on Scientific Data Analysis will be held at Scuola Normale Superiore on November 25-28, 2019. It is addressed to SNS PhD students interested in the theory and applications of Data Science in Physics (in particular Astrophysics, Biophysics, Condensed Matter, Particle Physics). It consists of a series of lectures given by leading scientists in the field, that will provide a comprehensive review on the most common techniques for data analysis (acquisition, mining, handling, visualization), including Artificial Intelligence (e.g. Machine Learning, Neural Network). The school aims at encouraging cross-disciplinary discussions between participants and speakers, and prompting joint research activities. The school on Scientific Data Analysis is sponsored by the italian Ministry of Education, University and scientific Research (MIUR) in the context of the venture “Departments of Excellence”. The number of participants is limited to 25. A brief statement of research interests is required for the application. Special attention will be given to applications from first and second year students, seeking balance among different scientific areas of the SNS. The deadline for application is November 15, 2019.
