bio: Miles Cranmer is Assistant Professor in Data Intensive Science at the University of Cambridge, joint between the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics and the Instititute of Astronomy. He received his PhD from Princeton University, spending time at Google DeepMind and Flatiron Institute, and before that, his BSc from McGill University. Miles is interested in automating scientific research in the physical sciences with machine learning, and works on a variety of pure and applied machine learning projects in pursuit of this goal. His ML research has concentrated on symbolic regression, graph neural networks, and physics-motivated architectures, while his applied projects have looked at multi-scale physics, planetary dynamics, and cosmology.
bio: Michael Eickenberg joined the Flatiron Institute’s Center for Computational Mathematics in February 2020. Eickenberg’s work consists in using machine learning methods towards forward and reverse modeling of fMRI brain activity following sensory stimulation. Recently, Eickenberg was a postdoctoral researcher at the Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute at UC Berkeley. He has a Bachelor’s degree in Physics and Mathematics from the University of Luxembourg, a Master’s degree in Mathematics, Computer Vision, and Applied Mathematics from École Normale Supérieure de Cachan, and a Ph.D. in Machine Learning and Modeling Applied to Neuroimaging from Paris-Sud University (Paris XI).

bio: Tom is a PhD student supervised by Prof Miles Cranmer at the Institute of Astronomy, University of Cambridge. He aspires to apply contemporary techniques in machine learning, data science, and statistics to assorted problems in astronomy. His current focus is on developing multimodal, transformer-based foundation models for galaxy surveys. Previously, Tom completed a master’s degree in physics at the University of Durham.
bio: "Keiya Hirashima is a fourth-year PhD student in Astronomy at the University of Tokyo, Japan, and spending time at Flatiron Institute. He is striving to synergize Machine Learning, HPC, and galactic evolution insights. With a foundation in computer science, he is currently exploring CNN-based and transformer-based models for: (1) surrogate models to replace computationally intensive multi-scale simulations, and (2) the morphological classification of galaxies. He earned his B.E. in Informatics and Mathematical Science from Kyoto University. Beyond research, he enjoys pole vault and bouldering."
