Personal profile
Biography
Dr. Golden is Professor in Interdisciplinary Physics in the School of Natural Sciences at the University of Galway. He is an astronomer and experimental physicist interested in applying advanced data analytics to contemporary societal challenges in healthcare, the environment and with the planet's climate.
Research Interests
Stellarsubstellar magnetosphere processes and the space weather associated with stellar flares & their impact on exoplanets
Transient processes associated with compact objects (neutron stars, black holes) and their use to probe fundamental physics (condensed matter equation of state, gravitational waves)
Application of artificial intelligence methods to problems in radiomics, genomics and climate science.
Teaching Interests
Im interested in taking full advantage of the the new paradigm in computational notebooks (such as Jupyter notebookslabs and the use of RStudio) as a powerful means of teaching students how to fully engage with practically oriented material. The beauty of the notebooks (either in Python (Jupyter) or R (R-studio)) is that are easily adapted to encourage play based learning around the topic at hand. This is exactly how scientific researchers develop their skills and programming abilities, and so offers students precisely the same means to learn techniques and domain expertise. I am also interested in exploring how self-efficacy, in particular research self-efficacy can be enhanced during this learning process.
