Yashar Hezaveh

Yashar Hezaveh, an Assistant Professor at the University of Montreal and a research fellow at the Center for Computational Astrophysics, dives into the fascinating intersection of machine learning and astrophysics. He discusses the challenges of gravitational lensing, where light bends due to gravity, and how ML enhances image reconstruction of distant galaxies. Yashar explores simulation-based approaches, the critical role of 'priors' in analysis, and the future potential of integrating deep learning techniques to transform our understanding of the universe.
