Desika Narayanan visted the Niels Bohr Institute and Cosmic Dawn Centre in Copenhagen to both deliver the Niels Bohr Lecture, as well as contribute to the center’s presentation for the annual DNRF agency visit.

We are extremely grateful to the UF Astraeus Space Institute for funding our work on developing new AI/Simulation Based Inference techniques to understand the physical properties of the first galaxies in the Universe. This award will fund graduate student Dhruv Zimmerman’s research in this area.

Having developed an innovative method for rapidly computing the chemistry and radiative properties of molecular gas in cosmological simulations, Karolina is poised to attack the open problem of line intensity mapping in the early Universe. Newly minted Dr. Garcia is moving to a Center for Astrophysical Surveys postdoctoral fellowship at UIUC to pursue this science!
