AI & Physics

Exploring the fundamental connections between artificial intelligence and physical systems, bridging the gap between computational intelligence and the laws of nature.

Research Overview

Our AI & Physics research program investigates the deep connections between artificial intelligence and physical systems. We believe that understanding these fundamental relationships is key to developing more robust, efficient, and interpretable AI systems.

By drawing inspiration from physical principles such as energy conservation, symmetry, and emergent behavior, we develop novel approaches to machine learning that are both theoretically sound and practically effective.

Key Research Areas
