  1. This yearly shutdown for ALMA is special: during this shutdown, the first equipment required for the Wideband Sensitivity Upgrade will be connected: the electrical interfaces for the OSF Correlator Room, which will be the home for the new Advanced Technology ALMA Correlator (ATAC), the new Total Power GPU Spectrometer (TPGS), parts of the Data Transmission Subsystem, and even from the computing side of things!

  2. Ayer tuve el gusto de dar la charla inaugural en el evento Applied ReseaRch dAY (ARRAY) 2024 del Departamento de Informática de la Universidad de Santiago de Chile (USACH).

    Las transparencias en español las podéis ver en SpeakerDeck, que sigue siendo el servicio de subida de charlas que menos se entromete en tu contenido. Pero aquí las he subido para que estén disponibles en caso de que les pase algo a esos servicios…

    Además, la charla se retransmitió en YouTube, y podéis ver el inicio de mi charla en torno al minuto 12:50, o podéis empezar en el minuto 9:05 para ver la presentación que me hace Miguel Cárcamo.

  3. I have been mentioning the Wideband Sensitivity Upgrade to ALMA a lot, as this is 99% of my focus. If you want to know more about it, a new site has been created for ALMA-interested scientists to show what it is, and why it is important to them. Have a look at it!

  4. I am really sorry I’m missing #spie2024 but I had a lot of travel back to back and one more week away from home was just too much. we will have to wait for 2026 for the first WSU at SPIE update in terms of its Program and System Engineering Management!

  5. My colleague Cristina García-Miró took some pictures about my talk on Monday. I spoke mostly about the engineering and programmatic updates from the Wideband Sensitivity Upgrade, and the teams behind it. Sean’s talk today (see link) focuses on the advantages of the WSU to astronomers.

  6. I'm particularly thrilled with tomorrow's program, as the first talk is the overview of the definition and progress of the Wideband Sensitivity Upgrade, which is the future of ALMA, and the main focus of my work as JAO Development System Engineer!

  7. Attending the November 2023 ALMA Board Meeting to support Álvaro González, the new ALMA Deputy Director for Development, in his report from the System Engineering side on the Wideband Sensitivity Upgrade, and the rest of the ALMA 2030 roadmap..

    It is a lot of work from a lot of people across the ALMA partnership… kudos to everyone involved!

  8. This is a great talk about how Science Platforms will change the way data reduction is performed in radio astronomy…

    At ALMA, we don't have a Science Platform, but we're looking at them to see if they might be required for the WSU era…

  9. I gave a talk as part of the SKAO Speaker Series about the ALMA Development Program, which in essence was a recap of ALMA so far, and I think it turned out quite well.

    I'm also experimenting with the Fediverse for video, and managed to publish it through PeerTube in my (informal) ALMA Observatory channel, hope you enjoy it!

  10. Hey there, time for an introduction! I’m new to CalcKey (and CalcKey.social in particular), but not that new to the Fediverse, so this will not be my main profile for some time, but I’ll try to see if it can become that.

    I’m half-astronomer, half-engineer, although the engineering part has been gaining more relevance with time.

    I have worked for several observatories, among them the European Southern Observatory, the Square Kilometre Array Observatory, and since June 2022 the Joint ALMA Observatory.

    The Joint ALMA Observatory just went through its 10th anniversary, and is ready now for its major overhaul: the Wideband Sensitivity Upgrade, which will change all the signal chain, including correlation and data processing, to get an huge multiple in speed gains for most projects, and at least a 4 times gain for most.

    My role is to supervise the Systems Engineering efforts for all relevant subprojects, to make sure that a successful observatory upgrade is delivered which provides a lot of value to our community.

    See you around!

    ps. As my profile indicates, most of my activity will, anyway, happen at
    @[email protected]. At least, for the time being!

  12. Attending my second ALMA Board since I joined in June 2022! Good discussions with the ALMA Science Advisory Committee…

    After that, my colleagues John Carpenter (acting Head of Development) and Carla Crovari (JAO Development Project Manager) and myself will present the latest on the Wideband Sensitivity Upgrade developments!
