Predicting Space Weather Using AI | Jinxing Li | TEDxCSTU
Have you ever wondered what space sounds like? How do those waves shape our space environment? How does AI come in forecasting the space environment? Dr. Jinxing Li will display various beautiful sounds recorded in space by NASA Satellites, and reveal surprising roles they play in shaping the radiative space and forming stunning aurora.But there’s more: with the power of artificial intelligence, Dr. Li shows how we can forecast these dynamic space environments. From predicting the behavior of electromagnetic waves to radiation belts, AI is transforming space weather forecasting—a vital safeguard for satellites, astronauts, and even power grids on Earth.Dr. Jinxing Li is a space physicist and AI researcher at UCLA. He leads a NASA project that develops AI models that predict various space environments. He has led groundbreaking projects that explore various electromagnetic waves in space, their origin, evolution, and their role in shaping Earth’s space environment. He discovered various novel structures of waves in space, and solved the decades-long mystery of how banded chorus waves are generated.Event: TEDxCSTU
