A chance encounter with Professor Immanuel Bomze at the EURO conference in Valencia, Spain, in the summer of 2018 led to an invitation to give the third distinguished lecture, titled “The (Data) Science of Time: From Music to the Heart,” at the new Data Science @ Uni Vienna lecture series on 17 January 2019 hosted by Professor Torsten Möller. The event was co-sponsored by the Vienna Center for Operations Research and Bösendorfer, which provided a VC214 Enspire piano for the presentation.
The visit to the University of Vienna also led to meetings with four first year PhD students in the Data Science program working in the areas of astronomy, finance, healthcare, and the humanities, and a postdoc in statistics.
