Dr. Duo Xu is a CITA Postdoctoral Fellow and a Schmidt AI in Science Postdoctoral Fellow. His research focuses on star formation, stellar feedback, and turbulence, with a particular focus on applying machine learning techniques. Duo employs various machine learning approaches, particularly deep learning models such as state-of-the-art generative models like denoising diffusion probabilistic models, to bridge the gap between synthetic observations from simulations and real observational data. This helps infer the intrinsic physical properties and conditions of the interstellar medium and the star formation processes in our galaxy. Duo completed his PhD at the University of Texas at Austin. Prior to joining CITA, he was an Origins Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Virginia.
