Michael J. Williams

Research Fellow at the ICG. I'm interested in gravitational wave data analysis with an emphasis on sampling techniques & machine learning.

[Pierre-Simon Laplace @LearnBayesStats]

📢 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. 💫

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 🙏 https://t.co/zi9PuYNX8s https://t.co/qOEEPddI1B

[Tessa Baker @Tessa_M_Baker]

We have #PhD positions in #cosmology, astrophysics and gravitational waves open at the ICG ✨⚫️🌊 Apply now for entry in autumn 2024. More details: https://t.co/pViPQmyAXb

[UofG Institute for Gravitational Research @UofGravity]

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.

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! https://t.co/mBN4sK27vk

[Walter Reade @WalterReade]

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."

[Michael J. Williams @michael_j_will]

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

[Christopher Berry @cplberry]

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!

[BritGrav 23 @BritGrav23]

@michael_j_will from @UofGravity tells us about his nested sampling nessai. Using machine learning and new importance nesting sampling techniques. https://t.co/szsT222dKt #BritGrav22

[BritGrav 23 @BritGrav23]

Monday 28 February is our abstract submission deadline for #BritGrav22 We're looking forward to lots of great talks!

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 https://t.co/BA4DoffRRz

[Machine Learning in Science @MLinScience]

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.

[Michael J. Williams @michael_j_will]

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 https://t.co/BA4DoffRRz

[Christopher Berry @cplberry]

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

Do you use numerical simulations, but are struggling to find parameters which make your model fit data? Simulation-based inference https://t.co/TWrapZ9pqK can come to the rescue. We are releasing sbi, a toolbox to explore new #SBI methods, https://t.co/oEQFiZwVYU 1/6
