Abstract: The image of a black hole from April 2019 was widely seen by people all over the world. To make this happen, it transcended traditional boundaries of a scientific discipline. In this webinar, I will discuss examples such as black hole imaging and Large Hadron Collider for high energy physics, and connect them with computer science and statistics, and how computer networking plays a role. The webinar will also focus on the importance of basic knowledge, why this helps to explore larger scientific and technical problems.
