Rising Researchers Winter Camp: Exploring a New Stage of Astrophysics (the JWST Era) with a Focus on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning

Schedule: 8 sessions – meeting 2x a week, approx. 75-90 mins each

Dates: Every Sunday and Tuesday (12/21/25 – 1/13/26)

Topics covered:

• You’ll dive into astrophysics, exploring exoplanet discovery, the characterization of stellar and galactic spectra, and the puzzlingly rapid origins of supermassive black holes discovered by the James Webb Space Telescope.
• You’ll learn how scientists use artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) methods, like decision trees and neural networks, to analyze these data and make exciting discoveries.
• Using Python, you’ll begin exploring and analyzing real datasets, gaining hands-on experience with the same tools that professional astronomers use.
