Azim Ahmadzadeh

I am a computer scientist, a data scientist, and an interdisciplinary researcher. My research primarily focuses on the effective use of Artificial Intelligence (Machine Learning and Deep Neural Networks) to provide physicists with a better understanding of the Sun and the physical processes driving its activities. One of the main concerns in this area is to achieve a reliable forecast of the extreme space-weather events of which the Sun is the main creating source, and can have devastating economic and collateral impacts on mankind. The magnitude of such economic impacts have been estimated by the National Research Council in 2008 to be $1-2 trillion for the United States, during the first year of the occurrence alone. The severity of the consequences was recognized in 2016, and reiterated in 2019, by the White House, with executive orders that emphasized preparation for and minimization of the potential impacts.
