Dear Rotaractors, friends and guests,
We would like to invite you to the speech of Giacomo Miceli on the topic of artifical intelligence.
The focus of his work is on key Artificial Intelligence technologies – such as Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing, and Robotics – to understand the implications of these new technologies for business strategy, as well as the economic and societal issues they raise.
Giacomo Miceli studied Theoretical Physics at the University of Pisa. He moved to Switzerland after graduating to do a doctorate under the guidance of Prof. Michele Parrinello. Thereafter, he undertook scientific research at the University of Milan. Following this, he moved back to Switzerland to take up a position of Senior Research Scientist at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne. In his research he deploys advanced quantum methods for atomistic simulations and state- of-the-art Deep Neural Network techniques to study the microscopic properties of water, semiconductors and materials for hydrogen storage. The understanding of the related chemical-physical phenomena is crucial for further advances in the field of renewable energy and efficient opto-electronic devices. Today Giacomo increasingly dedicates himself to the study of complex systems to unravel the intricate mechanisms that characterise their collective behaviour. This is the ultimate interdisciplinary field, which includes Physics, Biology, Economy, Finance and Society. He combines sophisticated theories borrowed from the domain of Statistical Mechanics, diverse data sources, and powerful machines to build and run data-driven, machine learning algorithms.
The speech will start at 7:00pm at Vis-à-vis, so we would like to ask you to arrive by 6:45 in order to be able to order food and drinks beforehand.
After the speech, we will as always enjoy a nice dinner and drinks and have room for further discussions about our plans for the next year.
We are looking forward to welcoming many of you!
Best,
Elena
