Ander Artola

Welcome! I’m Ander Artola, a PhD. student at the Max Planck Institute for Software Systems, under the supervision of Dr. Manuel Gomez Rodriguez and as part of the IMPRS-TRUST program. Previously, I obtained my masters at Heidelberg University under the supervision of Dr. Sarah Bosman.

My primary interests include:

Machine learning, uncertainty quantification, explainability and support systems
Bayesian modelling
Statistical inference techniques
Decision-making
(Differential geometry and its applications)
(Cosmology, dark matter, the intergalactic medium and reionisation)
Anything that is intensive in abstract reasoning: from coding to philosophy

Oct 10, 2024	I will be giving a talk at the Galaxy Coffee, the seminar of the “Galaxies & Cosmology” Department at the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy.
Oct 01, 2024	My master’s thesis is complete! Thanks to Heidelberg University (Institute for Theoretical Physics) and the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy. You can find it here. In this project, I use a Bayesian neural network to reconstruct the cosmic density fields from the Lyman-alpha forest. Based on those reconstructions, I constrain warm dark matter with unprecedented efficiency.
