AI & Astronomy
On Thursday, November 5, 2026 , at 19:00 , SciFY held the 54th SciFY Academy at Impact Hub Athens (28 Karaiskaki, Athens) on “AI & Astronomy” .
Participation is free and open to everyone!
At the center of the event were questions such as:
- How does AI help scientists analyze huge amounts of data and better understand the Universe?
- How is AI utilized in the study of the Sun and phenomena that can affect systems on Earth?
- How are particles arriving from the depths of space detected on the seabed of the Mediterranean?
- Why is it useful to convert scientific data into sound and how can this make astronomy more accessible?
Initially, Dr. Fiori-Anastasia Metallinou, Astrophysicist, Science Communication Manager at National Observatory of Athens, presented a different way in which we can understand space data, through its conversion into sound with the help of AI (soundification). See her presentation here.
The next one to take the stand was Dr. Manos Saridakis, Director of Research at the Institute of Astronomy, Astrophysics, Space Applications and Remote Sensing of the National Observatory of Athens. See his presentation here.
Finally, Dr. Evangelia Drakopoulou, Astroparticle Physics Researcher at NCSR “Demokritos”, in her presentation “AI & Astroparticle Physics”, showed how AI helps in the search for extremely rare signals from the Universe. See her presentation here.
