A colleague has just written up an undergrad-level introduction to the statistical properties of astronomical gamma-ray images.

An Introduction to the Statistics and Structure of Astronomical Gamma-Ray Images

In this first blog post I will give an introduction to the structure and statistics of gamma-ray images and apply them every day images with fun results.

Join us this evening for an exciting talk on The Validation of Stellar Chemistry Machine Learning Models with guest speaker Rosayla Coulthard. Rosayla is a second year student at the University of Toronto pursuing an Astronomy and Physics specialist, Statistics Major and Mathematics minor. She is currently doing research with Dr. Ting Li's research group at the University of Toronto. Their work relates to astrostatistics, stellar streams, stellar chemistry, machine learning, and dwarf galaxies.
Some of her research interests include stellar physics, astrostatistics, big data applications, and astronomical instrumentation.

Super proud to be awarded the 2023 EJG Pitman Prize for "the most outstanding talk by a 'young statistician' at an Australian #Statistical #Conference" (https://statsoc.org.au/Winners-of-the-E-J-G-Pitman-Prize). I had drilled hard to keep my talk to just 12 minutes! Very grateful to the #StatisticalSocietyOfAustralia for all the support it has given me over the years. Also really happy to promote #astrostatistics as a discipline to my peers. Slides: https://shihchingfu.github.io/slides.html (Photo credit: Berwin Turlach)

Tuesday morning at #JSM2023 and we have two talks about continuous #GravitatiionalWaves. Unfortunately they're in simultaneous sessions. So you have your pick between me talking in the topic contributed session "Pulling Signal out of Noise for Data-Driven Discoveries in Astronomy" or Alan Knee in the invited session "The True North Strong and ... Amazing at Astrostatistics!" #LIGO #Virgo #KAGRA #ContinuousWaves #astrostatistics #NeutronStars #JSM
