Tech Talk 1: Using Artificial Intelligence to predict Exoplanetary Atmospheres using data from Space Telescopes

A Grade 8 student, Artash has been working at the interface of space, robotics and artificial intelligence for the last few years. He is interested in deep space exploration and has been applying machine learning models to space challenges, including – predicting risk index of an asteroid collision with Earth and detecting atmospheres of exoplanets using simulated data from space telescopes. His ongoing project is on creating curious and intelligent machines that learn by being placed in an immersive environment. They make efforts to understand cause and effect and are not hesitant to ask “why”.
