big data and vO in astronomy

The long lasting quest to understand the deep mysteries of the Universe has led to many discoveries and many many more observations, and those observations have led to truly massive amounts of data. So it comes as no surprise that collecting, manipulating and storing this data is a task no less important than making these marvelous devices to collect said data. This has now become a great challenge in the field of astronomy and astrophysics and great minds from all over the world are working on finding better solutions to it.

Exciting is it not? How such a seemingly mundane thing can be such a big topic of research. If this catches your fancy and triggers the computing enthusiast within you, then National Students’ Space Challenge is bringing to you a Workshop on Big Data Astronomy by Dr. Priya Hasan.

Dr. Priya Hasan is an astrophysicist, and Assistant Professor of Physics at Maulana Azad National Urdu University. She runs Shristi Astronomy, with an aim to make astronomy and science more fascinating to young minds through learner friendly workshops, discussions, and film screenings. She was an IVLP exchange participant of the State Department in 2011.

The topics which will be covered in this workshop are as follows:

1.Big Data in Astronomy

2.Virtual Observatory

3.Data Mining Software and Tools

4.Hadoop Tutorial

5.Data Visualization.

6.Hands-on session with Science Cases.

Curious about how to handle the huge astronomical data? Gear up and get ready for the most needed workshop.
