About Athena Ng’s work
Athena Ng is an astrophysicist whose research field is the application of machine learning to investigations of the first galaxies.
Ng’s current research focuses on the formation and evolution of galaxies. With the huge amount of data from large satellite projects like EUCLID, Ng's research aims to develop new machine-learning methods that determine the correlation between observable parameters and the assembled history of these galaxies from these data. She also hopes to classify the newly discovered galaxies into different catalogues and further investigate how they map the whole universe.
