Talks

Using Natural Language to Do Science: How Agentic AI Empowers Astronomers (2026):

View the slides online. A workshop on how natural language is becoming the way to do science: what agentic AI is, live demos of fixing figures, writing papers, running HPC jobs, weighing a galaxy with the PyAutoLens Assistant, and the pitfalls. The slides open in the browser; use the arrow keys to move between them.

Using Natural Language to Model Strong Gravitational Lenses (2026):

View the slides online. A workshop on using CLI agents for science: fixing figures, writing LaTeX, running HPC jobs, developing software, and modelling strong lenses with the autolens_assistant. The slides open in the browser; use the arrow keys to move between them.
