Our lab hosts regular workshops on current topics in cosmology. These workshops can be proposed by any member of the lab and should be driven by a clear concept and goal (e.g. publication, software development, white paper, new collaboration/partnership).
In the past we have hosted a variety of events, for example:
- Beyond two-point workshop: This week-long workshop brought together experts in the research area of field-level inference, higher-order statistics, and simulation-based inference. The goal was to assess the current state of the art of this field and to test different methods on simulations. The group continued to work on this data challenge for over a year and the resulting paper can be found here: https://arxiv.org/abs/2405.02252
- Arizona Lensing Day: This one-day event happens once per semester interchangeably at ASU and UA. It brings together cosmologists from both institutions with interest in gravitational lensing as a technique to explore the cosmos. It started in 2022 as an informal event that brings together students, postdocs, faculty from UA and ASU for 8 hours of fun, science, panel discussions, and other interaction.
- Cocoa-Developer workshops: Cocoa, the Cobaya-CosmoLike Architecture, is the main software frameworks that we use for cosmological inference. We regularly host the main developers to work on specific projects and to expand the code's capabilities and performance.
