Pitt astrophysics expert wins Packard Fellowship developing novel galaxy simulations

Pitt’s Evan Schneider has won a Packard Fellowship Award. She is the first woman at Pitt to win the award and Pitt’s third winner since 1988. Using a GPU-powered code of her own design and the world’s fastest supercomputers, Schneider and her team simulate galaxies with greater clarity than ever before.

Scientists use artificial intelligence to detect gravitational waves

Researchers at Argonne have used artificial intelligence to dramatically reduce the time it takes to process data coming from the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory.

Mira’s Last Journey: exploring the dark universe

Scientists used a supercomputer to perform one of the five largest cosmological simulations ever — the Last Journey. This simulation will provide crucial data for sky maps to aid leading cosmological experiments.
