The research group
Our new research group 'Computer Vision Astrophysics and Cosmology' for Cosmology and Machine Learning at the Institute of Theoretical Physics focuses on: Modern Machine Learning for cosmological inference and simulation; Computational astrophysics and cosmology; Intensity mapping; and Large (radio) surveys, in particular the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) and LOFAR.
Our goal is to learn about our Universe's cosmology, the epoch of reionization and high-redshift galaxy formation.
