Speaker: Dr. Stefano Camera (University of Turin)
Host: Jean-Luc Starck and Panagiotis Tsakalides
Abstract :
"I shall review novel approaches that I have explored over the years to extract information optimally from varied observations across the electromagnetic spectrum. The aims are varied as well, and in particular I shall discuss: optimising parameter constraints for the concordance cosmological model; testing the inflationary principle through measuring its non-Gaussian imprint on the cosmic large-scale structure; confirming the validity of general relativity on the largest cosmic scales; probing the particle nature of dark matter; and learning about the origin and composition of ultra-high energy cosmic rays."

Short Bio:
Stefano Camera is Associate Professor in Cosmology at the University of Turin (Italy), were he graduated in 2011 under the supervision of Prof. Antonaldo Diaferio with a thesis on constraining alternative cosmologies through cosmic shear. After his PhD, spent between Turin and Edinburgh under the supervision of Prof. Alan Heavens, Stefano had been a Research Assistant and a FCT Research Fellow at the University of Lisbon (Portugal), with Prof. Mário Santos, and later a Research Associate at the Jodrell Bank Centre for Astrophysics (Manchester, UK), with Prof. Michael Brown. Stefano is also Visiting Professor at the University of the Western Cape (Cape Town, South Africa). Stefano's main research interests are at the interface between theoretical and observational cosmology, and over the years got involved in some of the major international collaborations for cosmology of the present and next decades, like Euclid and the SKA Observatory (and its precursors/pathfinders). Amongst other duties, he is current Chair of the SKA Observatory Cosmology Science Working Group and has Builder status in the Euclid Consortium.
