# Shirley Ho

shirley ho is an American cosmologist and astrophysicist, currently at the Center for Computational Astrophysics (Flatiron Institute) in NYC and at the New York University and the Carnegie Mellon University.A cited expert in cosmology, machine learning applications in astrophysics and data science, her interest are using deep learning accelerated simulations to understand the Universe, and other astrophysical phenomena.She significantly contributed to the development of several fields, including: cosmic microwave background, cosmological models, dark energy, dark matter, spatial distribution of galaxies and quasars, Baryon Acoustic Oscillations, cosmological simulations and applications of machine learning to cosmology. More recently, shirley ho has led her team on a series of papers on accelerating simulations using modern deep learning techniques. == Education == After having completed a Bachelor of Arts (with Highest Honors) in Physics and Computer Science at the University of California at Berkeley, shirley ho moved to Princeton University to pursue her Ph.D. at the Department of Astrophysical Sciences of Princeton Universitybetween 2004 and 2008.
