    Solving Quantum Riddles: Dr. Sijia Dong is Using Machine-Learning to Overcome Challenges in Quantum Chemical Computation

    Complex chemistry, Machine learning, and quantum mechanics are fields that take strong computers and a lot of time to understand. Dr. Sijia Dong is simplifying that process by uniting the three.

    Understanding Networks: The power to predict pandemics, information spread, and quantum gravity

    Dr. Krioukov’s lab recently published two papers in the field of network science. These papers show that (1) the geometry of networks can be elucidated by understanding the network’s latent properties and (2) For networks living in latent space, finding their geometry is possible using a previously known standard called Ollivier Curvature.

    Undergraduate Student Experience Spotlight: Eddie Berman

    I presented my abstract On Differentiable Correlation Functions at the American Astronomical Society Winter Session Meeting in Baltimore, MD. My work is important because it enables gradient-based optimization, enabling cosmologists to relate correlations to astrophysical model parameters. In my current extensions to this work, I have shown that it enables a new class of uncertainty quantification and alternatively […]
