From pixel to universe and back
2 Dec 2021
Astrophysicist Daniel Gruen is using artificial intelligence to explore the cosmos. He accepted a professorship at LMU’s Faculty of Physics in summer 2021.
Daniel Gruen wants to make the invisible visible. To do so, he depends as much on the capabilities of telescopes as on the ability to crunch vast quantities of data. “My research ranges from the pixel data we record with telescopes – images and spectra of galaxies – to inferences about the fundamental physical laws and elements of the universe,” the astrophysicist says.
