The program experience
Research, mentorship, and community
Participants join a collaborative environment built around meaningful scientific work, close exchange with researchers, and shared learning across disciplines.
Research with experts
Work alongside scientists applying AI to astronomy and the physical sciences, from complex data and simulations to new generative methods.
Across disciplines
Explore questions spanning cosmology, exoplanets, high-energy astrophysics, large language models, and other fast-moving research areas.
A connected cohort
Take part in weekly seminars, all-hands meetings, group discussions, and the welcoming research community that makes collaboration possible.
In summer 2025, AstroAI welcomed its first cohort to the Center for Astrophysics. Emerging researchers from the United States and abroad worked side by side with the CfA community on AI-driven questions in astronomy and the physical sciences.
The program sparked connections among students and researchers at MIT, McGill University, ETH Zurich, and the Polytechnic University of Milan. The cohort also helped organize the second AstroAI Workshop, meeting experts in data-centric AI, interpretability, computer vision, and related fields.
