With diverse backgrounds from five universities, 13 undergraduate students learned how to apply machine learning and artificial intelligence codes using Python to solve cosmology problems.
Cole Rischbieter, a second-year Ph.D. student in physics, Dishari Malakar, a second-year Ph.D. student in physics, Hasti Khoraminezhad, a postdoctoral researcher, and Steven Karst, a senior in physics, served as lecturers.
Workshop materials are available on the website.
The workshop was sponsored by the National Science Foundation Partnerships in Astronomy and Astrophysics Research and Education project, “Collaborative Research: A Partnership in Central Missouri in the Era of Multi-messenger Astrophysics.
