ASTRI Mini-Array is an INAF project to build a network of nine dual-mirror Cherenkov telescopes for gamma-ray astronomy. Located at 2400 m altitude in Tenerife, it will detect high-energy photons (1–300 TeV) from cosmic sources and enable precision measurements in stellar interferometry and cosmic ray physics.

By training 1D convolutional neural networks to distinguish scintillation events from dark noise and to resolve temporal pile-up, the project pushed detection thresholds to energies previously inaccessible, and demonstrated real-time FPGA deployment via HLS4ML at power levels compatible with space missions.
