Michael J. Williams

📢 Episode 101 is out! We are joined by not one but two experts on astrophysics: Christopher Berry and John Veitch, two senior lecturers at the University of Glasgow and experts from the LIGO-VIRGO collaboration. 💫 Tune in here: learnbayesstats.com/episode/101-bl…

There's currently two positions for postdoctoral researchers to join my team at @UoPCosmology , in #gravitationalwaves and large-scale structure #cosmology. Open for another ~10 days, links below 👇. Please share 🙏 jobregister.aas.org/ad/b2885fb5 jobregister.aas.org/ad/5faff99c

We have #PhD positions in #cosmology, astrophysics and gravitational waves open at the ICG ✨⚫️🌊 Apply now for entry in autumn 2024. More details: port.ac.uk/research/resea…

A unique event, combining swimming, audiovisual art & #GravitationalWaves with artists Leon Trimble & PlutonOvarian (of @wetsoundsldn) learning how we use cutting edge science to detect these waves with the @LIGO, @ego_virgo & @KAGRA_PR detectors. Tickets: tinyurl.com/GravitySwim

RSS WORKSHOP ON GRADIENT FLOWS FOR SAMPLING, INFERENCE, AND LEARNING Happy to announce the workshop we organise at Royal Statistical Society. Please check the links for information: in-person: rss.org.uk/training-event… - online: rss.org.uk/training-event… Please spread the word!

Congratulations to the new Doctor Michael Williams @michael_j_will who successfully passed his PhD viva this afternoon! Another #TeamUofG @UofGlasgow @UofGPhysAstro @UofGPhysAstro @UofGSciEng @UofGSciEngGrads success!

#SciArt competition: In 2025, @UofGravity are hosting the GR & Amaldi meetings. We would like *you* to design a conference logo. @PhysicsNews are kindly sponsoring a £250 prize! Deadline is 09:50 GMT 14 September More info: #d.en.987773" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">gla.ac.uk/schools/physic…

A month into our second @g2_net @kaggle competition and we've almost reached 400 teams! It's great interacting with the Kaggle community and fascinating to see what they've come up with so far. Can't wait to see how things progress! kaggle.com/competitions/g…

Another science competition on @kaggle "The goal of this competition is to find continuous gravitational-wave signals [which are] weak yet long-lasting signals emitted by rapidly-spinning neutron stars." kaggle.com/competitions/g…

We're back with another @kaggle competition! This time we're challenging you to detect continuous #GravitationalWavs from #NeutronStars. Good luck! @g2_net #MachineLearning #Kaggle kaggle.com/competitions/g…

A big thank you to the #BritGrav22 team, especially PhD students Christian Chapman-Bird @cosmo__jess @leighsmith_ @michael_j_will @AstroNo_Mick & @alfaidireem, and postdocs @daniel_williams & Joe Bayley who put in lots of hard work at @UofGravity!

@michael_j_will from @UofGravity tells us about his nested sampling nessai. Using machine learning and new importance nesting sampling techniques. arxiv.org/pdf/2102.11056… #BritGrav22

Monday 28 February is our abstract submission deadline for #BritGrav22 We're looking forward to lots of great talks! gla.ac.uk/events/confere…

#BritGrav22 is being hosted by @UofGravity! We look forward to you joining us virtually 4–5 April 2022 to share the latest research in gravity Registration is open and free. Abstract submission deadline 28 February, registration deadline 31 March gla.ac.uk/events/confere…

Our @kaggle competition has passed 1,000 teams😮Can't wait to see the different solutions the teams have come up with to tackle the challenge of detecting gravitational waves! @g2_net kaggle.com/c/g2net-gravit…

Next Wednesday, we've another webinar for you all! Join us over on zoom to hear @gw_hunter and Michael Williams from @UofGPhysAstro 🔭discuss their work in gravitational waves. Registration link: uofglasgow.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

Ever wanted to try your hand at detecting #GravitationalWaves? We've just launched a @kaggle competition that has you detect GWs from binary #BlackHole mergers. Give it a try! @g2_net kaggle.com/c/g2net-gravit…

Considering post-doc research in a gravitational-wave related area? Excited by an Ernest Rutherford Fellowship at @UofGravity? Expressions of interest (CV plus 1 paragraph on research) are asked for by this Friday. Please get in touch if you'd like support physics.gla.ac.uk/igr/index.php?…

Do you use numerical simulations, but are struggling to find parameters which make your model fit data? Simulation-based inference doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1… can come to the rescue. We are releasing sbi, a toolbox to explore new #SBI methods, mackelab.org/sbi 1/6

Happy to announce our most recent work "Flows for simultaneous manifold learning and density estimation" led by my friend and colleague Johann Brehmer Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2003.13913 Code: github.com/johannbrehmer/…
