A one-day workshop on current topics at the interface of Astronomy, Physics and Statistics.

Modern astronomy and cosmology heavily rely on statistical methods. At the same time, the recent explosion of available data, such as resulting from current and future astronomical sky surveys, provides unique challenges, and opportunities, to statistics. Several statistical challenges appearing in astrophysical research also arise in other fields of physics, such as particle physics.

The aim of this workshop is to foster the interchange of ideas among astronomers, physicists and statisticians working at, and with, the University of Padova. The event has three sessions dedicated to academic talks by senior researchers, a junior speed session and a poster session open to a limited number of participants.

The workshop is hosted by the Department of Statistical Sciences of the University of Padova, and is co-organized with the Department of Physics and Astronomy "G. Galilei" and the Confucius Institute Padova, with the endorsement of the University of Padova and the Guangzhou University.
