Title: Accelerating ML workflows in gravitational wave astronomy Abstract: Commercial applications of machine learning (ML) have grown substantially in recent years, driven in no small part by an explosion in the ecosystem of so-called MLOps tools that have simplified the development and deployment of common ML use cases using domain-specific best practices. As the canon … Continue reading "CRA -Machine Learning + Astro Seminar : Alec Gunny (MIT)"

Title: Kinetic and Two-Temperature Physics of Black Hole Accretion Disks and X-ray Coronae  Abstract: Understanding the plasma physics of accretion disks and coronae around black holes is crucial for interpreting the … Continue reading "CRA Seminar: Lia Hankla (UM)"

Title: Exoplanets: Diverse Architectures and Unified Origin Abstract: While the exoplanetary field is replete with remarkable discoveries, perhaps the two most intriguing findings have been the detection of hot Jupiters – giant planets orbiting perilously close to their parent stars, and the startling abundance of super-Earths – a type of world entirely missing from our … Continue reading "CRA Seminar: Songhu Wang (IUB)"
