Abstract: In this talk, I will present our joint measurement of cosmic infrared background (CIB) and CII line emission from large scales at redshift z=2.5 using an MCMC analysis of cross-correlations of the 3 high-frequency Planck bands with both SDSS-III …

ABSTRACT: In this talk, I'd like to discuss the intertwining importance and connections of three principles of data science in the title in data-driven decisions. Making prediction as its central task and embracing computation as its core, machine learning has …

Abstract: The discovery of the Higgs boson has completed the set of particles predicted by the Standard Model (SM). It has been established by the CMS and ATLAS Collaborations at the Large Hadron Collider that the discovered boson is consistent …

Abstract: As the universe cooled immediately following the Big Bang, the laws of physics underwent a dramatic phase transition. Underlying symmetries were broken and particles acquired mass as the Higgs field moved to a new ground state. In this talk …

Abstract: During Run 1 of LHC, the ATLAS and CMS collaboration firmly established the existence of a Higgs boson but detailed measurements were limited by statistical precision. With the larger Run 2 dataset, we have measured the couplings and production …
