Exploring Astrophysics

Hi everyone, welcome to episode 14 of Exploring Astrophysics with me, Vikram Bhamre. Today I am joined by Dr Niall Jeffrey, a researcher at ENS in Paris. During our talk he spoke about the Dark Energy Survey and some of the applications of machine learning that goes into projects like this.

Dr Jeffery goes into detail about how dark energy and dark matter, two things he is researching extensively, are elusive and that astrophysicists know very little about it. The Dark Energy Survey is a project which he is part of that tries to map the distribution of dark energy in our universe. Dr Jeffrey also spoke about machine learning in the context of his research and how it is being used extensively throughout the projects he is working in.

What is Exploring Astrophysics?

Join me as I learn about the world of Astrophysics. My name is Vikram Bhamre and I am 18 years old. On my podcast, Exploring Astrophysics, I chat with some of the most incredible astrophysicists around the world on the most interesting questions left unanswered in astrophysics. What's amazing is how helpful and forthcoming they all are and I hope you too are inspired when you listen to them.
