Research at the Intersection of Astrophysics and Machine Learning
The institute's main research activities are focused on developing rigorous Bayesian inference frameworks that employ deep learning to accelerate parameter estimation and increase the accuracy of the inferred posteriors.
Black Holes
Breakthrough discoveries about the most fascinating objects in the Universe, black holes, ultimately revealing how these objects act as the beating heart of all galaxies.
Lensing for Dark Matter
Discovering the particle properties of dark matter and probing cosmology with strong gravitational lensing and machine learning.
Cosmology
Revealing the origin of the Universe, the nature of its components and how they affect its evolution, and its eventual fate.
Inference
Using neural networks to create new statistical analyses for complex, high-dimensional astrophysical datasets.
