Shirley  Ho

Shirley Ho is an American astrophysicist and machine learning expert, currently at the Center for Computational Astrophysics at Flatiron Institute in NYC and at New York University, with visiting appointment at Princeton University.  

A cited expert in cosmology, machine learning applications in science, and data science, her interests include developing and deploying deep learning techniques to better understand our Universe and other physical phenomena.  

 

Shirley Ho has led the first application of deep 3D convolutional neural networks in astrophysics and has since pushed forward the adoption of modern deep learning methods in the astrophysics community. More recently, Shirley Ho has concentrated her effort on accelerating simulations with artificial intelligence, creating foundational models for science, and developing novel techniques in interpretable machine learning.
