New observations suggest galaxies are larger than previously thought and Andromeda could already be touching the Milky Way.
Roberta Duarte
Astrophysist - 39 articlesPhysicist and Master in Astrophysics from USP, Roberta is currently a PhD student in Astrophysics at the same university. She specialises in Computational Physics and Artificial Intelligence. She is currently working at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence and Astrophysics publishing the First AI Simulation of a Black Hole. Her work was recognised internationally and nationally, being disclosed by the federal government itself. She works mainly on prediction of magnetised fluids using AI, with astrophysics applications.
In 2021, she won a Best Artificial Intelligence Application award at M2L for this work. Recently, the work was one of those chosen to be presented at the Google event, Women in ML. She promotes science on social networks under the username @import_robs, with more than 100,000 people following her. She is also a screenwriter for the channel Ciência Todo Dia, where she writes about various subjects involving Physics and Artificial Intelligence. She has participated in several well-known podcasts and programs promoting Astronomy and AI.
