Currently a postdoc in Munich, with Jochen Weller. I'm involved in DES, Euclid, XCS. I rely heavily on SDSS data, and other large datasets. I also use simulated data sets such as the Millenium simulation (and ufigsBCC)
I'm interested in machine learning in astrophysics/cosmology, mining large datasets, SQL, noSQL+graph databases, good coding conventions and practices, python, Baysean inference, and efficiently exploring high dimensional parameter spaces.
I'm also interested in photo-z estimation, star/QSO/Galaxy separation, identifying galaxy clusters and using clusters for cosmology, the cluster cross galaxy power spectrum, weak lensing, characterising binary stars.
