Abstract

In this talk, I'll speak about my experiences in Finland during the 2006-07 academic year. I have a number of mathematical adventures to share. In particular, I'll discuss the three general problems that I worked on over the course of the year. Each was quite different, but there is a uniting theme: large-scale Bayesian estimation. I'll attempt to tie them together using this framework and hopefully give a general audience a feel for each. One of the projects was in collaboration with Finnish researchers, and this facilitated a number of travel opportunities within Finland. So, I'll also show some pictures of the Finnish country side and of Helsinki. My main goal in this talk will be to give a broad audience a feel for what was an enriching year for me, both personally and professionally.
