SUMMARY:Optimization for ML and AI Seminar with Nigel Goldenfeld (UC San Diego)
DESCRIPTION:Nigel Goldenfeld\, UC San Diego \nAbstract: TBA \n\nNigel Goldenfeld holds the Chancellor’s Distinguished Professorship in Physics at UC San Diego\, which he joined in Fall 2021 after 36 years at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). Nigel’s research spans condensed matter theory\, the theory of living systems\, hydrodynamics and non-equilibrium statistical physics.  \nNigel received his PhD in theoretical physics from the University of Cambridge (UK) in 1982\, and from 1982-1985 was a postdoctoral fellow at the Institute for Theoretical Physics at UC Santa Barbara\, where his work on the dynamics of snowflake growth helped launch the modern theory of pattern formation in nature. He joined the condensed matter theory group at the Department of Physics at UIUC in 1985\, where his work was instrumental to the discovery of d-wave pairing in high temperature superconductors. Nigel’s interests in biology include microbial ecology\, evolution and systems biology. He was a founding member of the Institute for Genomic Biology at UIUC\, where he led the Biocomplexity Group and directed the NASA Astrobiology Institute for Universal Biology. During the COVID-19 pandemic\, he pivoted from his experience in mathematical modeling of bacteria and viruses to computational epidemiology\, advising the Governor of Illinois\, and helping devise\, set up and run the COVID saliva testing system at UIUC\, which provided ~12 hour turnaround of PCR tests to the 50\,000 people in the campus community and eventually to over 1700 schools and other institutions in Illinois and beyond. Nigel has served on the editorial boards of several journals\, including The Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society\, Physical Biology and the International Journal of Theoretical and Applied Finance. Selected honors include: Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Fellow\, University Scholar of the University of Illinois\, the Xerox Award for research\, the A. Nordsieck award for excellence in graduate teaching and the American Physical Society’s Leo P. Kadanoff Prize 2020. Nigel is a Fellow of the American Physical Society\, a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences\, a Fellow of the Royal Society (UK) and a Member of the US National Academy of Sciences. \nZoom: https://bit.ly/Opt-AI-ML
