 chine learning\n\n\n\nAbstract: Space telescopes like the NASA Kepler and 
 TESS missions as well as the forthcoming PLATO mission are driving a data 
 revolution in astrophysics. The ultra-precise observations provided by the
 se missions are challenging our best models of how stars evolve\, and are 
 in turn granting insights into the formation and evolution of planetary sy
 stems and the Galaxy as a whole. They furthermore present novel opportunit
 ies to probe far-ranging physics\, such as dark matter and theories of gra
 vity beyond general relativity. In this talk\, I will give an overview of 
 the data\, models\, challenges\, and opportunities in astronomy\, and high
 light the role that machine learning is playing in advancing our knowledge
  across astrophysics.\n\n\n\nBio: Earl Bellinger joined Yale University as
  Assistant Professor in the Department of Astronomy in January 2024. His r
 esearch intersects astrophysics and artificial intelligence with a particu
 lar focus on stellar evolution\, structure\, and pulsations. He utilizes s
 eismic data from stars to determine their inner structure and ages\, which
  in turn enables further study of the exoplanets they host\, the galaxies 
 that host them\, and their own underlying physics. He carried out his Ph.D
 . research at the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research and Yale\
 , and he held Postdoctoral Research Fellowships at the Stellar Astrophysic
 s Centre in Denmark and at the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics in Ge
 rmany.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
