VHEGA and CTAO shine at Puentes de Ciencia Outreach Event

Last week, Paula Kornecki and Daniel Morcuende from VHEGA, along with Alba Fernández-Barral from the CTAO, participated in the outreach event “Puentes de Ciencia”. They showcased the fascinating intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and gamma-ray astrophysics, demonstrating how cutting-edge AI techniques will revolutionize the processing of observations from the CTAO gamma-ray observatory.

Through interactive demonstrations, participants learned how AI helps distinguish gamma rays from cosmic rays—a critical task in our analyses. Attendees even had the chance to challenge the AI themselves!
