Funded Activity Summary

Deep learning: the first billion years with next generation Telescopes. This project aims to transform our understanding of the early Universe using the giant James Webb Space Telescope. This telescope, which will be the most transformative telescope of the next decade will be launched in early 2019. The telescope will observe the dawn of galaxy formation 13 billion years ago, a time that is currently shrouded in obscurity. The project will develop new techniques in scientific computing, including cloud-based workflows to make science more efficient and the application of 'deep learning' to the discovery of new astronomical objects and the acceleration of scientific computation. The project will train a new generation of young scientists in the use of these techniques, and actively engage with school students.
