An introduction to A.I. in astrophysics

Dr John Ilee (School of Physics & Astronomy) recently joined participants signed for the Deep Learning IndabaX Uganda 2024 for an introductory talk to discuss upcoming challenges in astronomy & astrophysics, and why artificial intelligence will be needed to solve them.

Moon Palace at Ghanaian Independence Day 2024

The Hub was very pleased to be able to support the participation of East Leeds Project's Moon Palace in celebrations for Ghanaian Independence Day 2024 with the Ghanaian Society of Leeds. While the weather didn't quite co-operate for observations, just over 150 visitors learned about Africa's expanding role in space-focused science and engineering.
