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 radiation observed from these systems. However, these plasmas span several different physical regimes. They can be highly collisional and well-described by a single temperature, or … 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)"
