Breaking news: the Event Horizon Telescope team unveils strong magnetic fields spiraling at the edge of Milky Way’s central black hole, Sagittarius A*. This new image suggests that strong magnetic fields may be common to all black holes. #OurBlackHole #SgrABlackHole

It's great to see so many academic family members!!!

Join us at virtual OpenAI Forum event - Hybrid Event: Scientific Discovery with AI: Unlocking the Secrets of the Universe - July 17, 2024 5:30 PM PDT forum.openai.com/public/events/… #OpenAIForum

I recently had the chance to speak at the #OpenAIForum about "Scientific Discovery with AI". It was an awesome experience sharing our work on AI and astronomy at the University of Arizona and Steward Observatory, University of Arizona.

Thank you to University of Arizona Atmospheric Sciences for these amazing videos! #tucson

Here we goooo...

It was great to return to the department where I earned my degree and present! I enjoyed sharing my thoughts on the connections between physics and AI with the community that helped shape my academic path. BTW, It takes only a few lines of python to implement a Hopfield network.

The very timely Veritasium video was filmed at UA campus: youtu.be/zB_OApdxcno

In python, for i in range(-3,2): print(f'hash({i:2}) == {hash(i):2}') hash(-3) == -3 hash(-2) == -2 hash(-1) == -2 🤯 hash( 0) == 0 hash( 1) == 1 And this is not a bug: github.com/python/cpython…

Did you know that black holes are spinning?🌀🔎 To find out just how fast, EHT researchers used AI to connect simulated data to actual EHT measurements of M87 and SgrA*. They found that the black hole in SgrA* spins almost as fast as physically possible! aanda.org/articles/aa/fu…

#A #NeuralNetwork trained on millions of synthetic data sets indicates the Milky Way’s central black hole spins near its maximum rate, with its axis oriented toward Earth. A&A journal doi.org/g9pbh9 phys.org/news/2025-06-n…
