The Universe, The (Hello) World and Uranus
summary
Starts in computational cosmology running C/C++ with MPI and OpenMP on HPC to evolve billions of particles, terabytes of output into galaxy-scale structure, then uses those simulations as labeled training data so ML models infer unobservable properties from observables. Moves into Earth observation using Sentinel‑2 13 bands and NDVI to build vegetation health and wildfire‑risk maps for Sardinia. Produces songs whose source is on GitHub and ships an IntelliJ AI patch fixing a NullPointerException in the Hello World code‑lyrics.
