Dr Rebecca Nevin, Postdoctoral research fellow at the Harvard Center for Astrophysics
Today I talked to Dr Rebecca Nevin, a postdoctoral researcher at the Harvard center for Astrophysics. Her work involves using computational tools to help understand and classify galaxy evolution better.
In this episode I speak with Dr Nevin on her work building a tool to recognise and classify galaxy mergers. She also talked about using machine learning and statistical tools in her work to assess how realistic fake galaxies can be to the ones observed. We also looked at some of the types of galaxies mergers present.
