Yulia Gel, a professor at Virginia Tech, recently joined a new project that will support the US Department of Energy’s Genesis Mission. Gel will focus on the Learning-Accelerated Domain Science Institute, which aims to make scientific machine learning accessible to domain scientists. The institute “breaks down the traditional disciplinary boundaries and brings the statistical and mathematical foundations to the forefront of innovations in scientific computing,” said Gel. She added that she views this as an opportunity “to redefine and highlight the unique role modern statistical science plays not only in scientific machine learning, but the AI breakthroughs in general.” The Genesis Mission is charged with developing an integrated platform connecting the world’s best supercomputers, experimental facilities, AI systems, and unique data sets across every major scientific domain.
