Dr Joanna Slawinska is a HIIT Research Fellow at the Department of Computer Science, University of Helsinki, since December 2020. She has a masters degree in physics with a focus on asteroseismology (graduated in 2005) and also PhD in computational geophysics (graduated in 2011) from University of Warsaw, and postdoctoral research training in applied mathematics from Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University .
Joanna Slawinska has extensive expertise on data-driven methods for dynamical systems, and their applications to various fields of physics, such as extraction and predictions of spatiotemporal patterns in turbulent flows. Current and future interests include AI approaches to complex systems, in particular probabilistic and Bayesian methods that are relevant to understand further and improve predictability of high-dimensional time-resolved datasets, such as temporal networks, causality, or game theory.
Joanna Slawinska joined University of Helsinki in December 2020. Since then, she has started collaborating on a number of projects, including collaborations with INAR and also Aalto University. She is also interested in expanding her expertise and training by working with experts from the Department of Computer Science/FCAI, with special focus on Bayesian and probabilistic methods such as temporal networks, causality and game theory.
Prior to that, Joanna Slawinska has worked on a number of projects during 2020, including schemes for probabilistic predictions such as with quantum compiler for dynamical systems. A draft [1] is currently under preparation for submission. Another two projects that got completed and published in 2020 concern nonparameteric prediction of tropical dynamics [3] and also novel decomposition and spatiotemporal pattern extraction in computational neuroscience [2].
