About
The 2nd edition of Cosmo21 took place on 24-27 May 2016 in Chania, Greece. Topics included: Cosmic microwave background: non-Gaussianity, component separation methods; Weak lensing: galaxy shape measurements, projected mass density map reconstruction, three-dimensional mapping of the dark matter, high order statistics, Euclid, LSST; Large-scale structure; High redshift supernovae; Mapping high-z 21-cm radiation; Lyman-alpha forest; Astronomical discovery from overwhelmingly large datasets: BOSS, EUCLID, PAU, LAMOST, LOFAR, SKA, LSST and others; Statistical methods used in astronomical data analysis (including new developments coming from fertile cross-interactions in astrostatistics).
The 2016 prize (an iPad) for best poster was awarded to Thibault Kuntzer (EPFL) for his poster on "Stellar classification from single-band imaging using machine learning".
