This full day of big-data-related programming will include three keynote speakers, updates on IDIES-funded seed grant and student summer fellowship projects, the latest news from other data-intensive organizations and institutions, a poster gallery, networking opportunities, and more. Lunch will be provided.
This year's keynote speakers are:
Stu Feldman, president of Schmidt Sciences; former vice president of engineering, East Coast, at Google; and former vice president of computer science at IBM Research. Schmidt Sciences financially supports the Scientific Software Engineering Center at Johns Hopkins University as part of their Virtual Institutes for Scientific Software initiative. Feldman is known for creating Make, the CLI tool, as well as the first Fortran compiler.
Beth Willman, CEO of the Legacy Survey of Space and Time Discovery Alliance, and former deputy director of the Rubin Observatory construction project. The LSST at the Vera C. Rubin Observatory is a wide-field, sky-mapping survey that aims to unlock the secrets of dark matter, cosmic evolution, and transient phenomena. Using the largest digital camera ever built, the survey will capture continuous and comprehensive imagery of the entire night sky for the next ten years, beginning with its stunning first-light images taken in June 2025.
François Lanusse, cosmologist and astrostatistician at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique/French National Centre for Scientific Research, and guest researcher of the Flatiron Institute. Lanusse's Polymathic AI project for astronomical observations was selected as one of the inaugural projects to utilize France's Jean Zay supercomputer.
