Welcome to the AI & Science Reading Group!

This is a collaborative space for our group to organize discussions, share resources, and coordinate activities across various AI applications in scientific disciplines.

Meetings and Notes

Guest Speaker Suggestions

Recommend potential guest speakers for any of our topic areas:

Name Affiliation Expertise Area Value to Group
Dr. Silvana Konermann Stanford University AI & Genomics Pioneer in using deep learning for genetic sequence analysis
Prof. Kyle Cranmer UW-Madison AI & Physics Leading work on physics-informed neural networks

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vxvf6No8LsE | | Dr. John Jumper | DeepMind | AI & Drug Discovery | Helped develop AlphaFold; expertise in protein-drug interactions | | Dr. Wong | Max Planck Institute | AI & Neuroscience | Pioneering work connecting neural network architectures to brain function | | Patrick Hsu | UC Berkeley | AI & Genomics | Pioneer in | | Zhongwei (Wei) Dai | Research at UNH, Brookhaven National, UC Berkley | AI & Quantum (Physics - particularly Nano materials) | Pioneering work on nano materials which will enable quantum chips. Quantum chips will significantly reduce the energy needed to run AI, speed it up, and have crypto and potentially energy sector implications. Nano material work has enabled batteries, solar, satellites, etc. |
