From the Ted Talk by Federica Bianco: How we use astrophysics to study earthbound problems
Unscramble the Blue Letters
These coarabnooillts between domain experts and astrophysicists created transformational solutions to help ipvmore people's quality of life. But it is a two-way road. I bring my astrophysics background to urban scicnee, and I brnig what I learn in uarbn science back to astrophysics.
Light echoes: the reflections of stellar explosions onto interstellar dust. In our images, these reflections appear as white, evanescent, moving features, just like plumes. I am ainptadg the same models that detect plumes in city images to detect light eehocs in images of the sky.
By exploring the things that interest and excite me, reaching outside of my domain, I did turn my rlensesetsss into an aesst. We, you, all have a unique perspective that can generate new insight and lead to new, unexpected, transformational solutions.

These collaborations between domain experts and astrophysicists created transformational solutions to help improve people's quality of life. But it is a two-way road. I bring my astrophysics background to urban science, and I bring what I learn in urban science back to astrophysics.
Light echoes: the reflections of stellar explosions onto interstellar dust. In our images, these reflections appear as white, evanescent, moving features, just like plumes. I am adapting the same models that detect plumes in city images to detect light echoes in images of the sky.
By exploring the things that interest and excite me, reaching outside of my domain, I did turn my restlessness into an asset. We, you, all have a unique perspective that can generate new insight and lead to new, unexpected, transformational solutions.
