Astroparticle physics studies high-energy particles with cosmic origins that are detected on Earth. Emerging more than a century ago with the detection of cosmic rays, this field now deals with high-energy gamma-rays and neutrinos. Over the last few decades, astroparticle physics has evolved towards multi-messenger astronomy, where information from multiple messengers such as photons, gravitational waves, and cosmic rays is combined to gain a deeper understanding of astrophysical phenomena. The development of new instruments and connecting different telescopes into a common network is bringing the field into the petascale era, where data science techniques are becoming crucial for future discoveries. In this talk, I will give an overview of astroparticle physics and multi-messenger astronomy, highlight the latest achievements, and discuss the synergies between astrophysics and data science, with examples from the Astroparticle Physics Lab at JetBrains Research.
Speaker: Dr. Dmitriy Kostunin is a researcher and developer in astroparticle physics with over a decade of experience. His primary focus is on improving the sensitivity of instrumentation to detect the highest energy particles with the goal of uncovering the origins of the most extreme events in the universe. He began his career by designing and prototyping instruments for neutrino and cosmic-ray detection, and now primarily focuses on the development and construction of the next-generation gamma-ray observatory, the Cherenkov Telescope Array.
