Ander Artola
Max Planck Institute for Software Systems, Germany.
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 in Physics at Heidelberg University under the supervision of Dr. Sarah Bosman. I graduated with high honors in 2023 from the Complutense University of Madrid in Mathematics and Physics.
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
You can find my CV here.

| 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. |
