For the entire month of March, the Institute of Space Science there will be visited periodically by groups of school and kindergarten children, for the event called “Scoala Altfel”/“Different Kind of School”. More about our group’s implication in this activity you can found on LISA ISS-Sci’s webpage.
On March 15th I have been invited and will gladly participate as a speaker to the Scientific
Seminar of the Astronomical Institute, with the talk “Low-Latency Pipelines for LISA Mission - A Deep Learnig Approapch"
Abstract:
When, in 2017, the collision of two neutron stars was first announced by the emitted gravitational waves detected by LIGO/VIRGO collaboration, followed by gamma-rays, radio, optical, UV and X-ray messengers detected by several ground and space missions, it became obvious that multi-messenger astronomy is the key to significantly increase our understanding about a space event and the underlying mechanism that has produced it.
In order to enable the multi-messenger view of an event we need to be able to perform a fast and reliable analysis and interpretation of the data coming from an observatory end emit low-latency alerts towards other available observatories.
This is also one key objectives of LISA Mission and, in this
presentation, I will show the results and current status of our deep-learning based low-latency algorithms for the detection and characterization of gravitational wave data and their performance in the case of LISA-like data.
The developed algorithms could be also employed and it is our intention to test them also for other current and future gravitational wave observatories.
On March 29th I have been invited by AFIST and I will participate as a mentor to the launching of the Mentorship Programme 2023: “AIM for Inspiration and Success Through Mentorship”.
