Our research

At ISSA we are involved in a wide range of research activities many of which are in collaboration with our foreign partners.

We are actively working on:

  • High performance software instrumentation for radio telescopes 
  • GPU-based pipelines for radio astronomy
  • Monitoring and Control infrastructure for large radio instruments
  • Mapping out dark matter through weak gravitational lensing
  • Low aperture array antenna design
  • Antenna placement optimisation for aperture arrays
  • Alternative Theories of gravity
  • Cosmology as a test of modified gravity
  • Machine learning applications in astronomy
  • Generative AI for astronomy
