Challenging AI with Challenges from Physics: How to solve fundamental problems in Physics by AI and vice versa
Project duration: 01.10.2024 – 30.09.2028
The potential for using artificial intelligence to answer open questions in elementary particle physics is the topic of the doctoral network “Challenging AI with Challenges from Physics: How to solve fundamental problems in Physics by AI and vice versa” (AIPHY). The goal is to develop optimum methods for the AI-supported analysis of complex physical data that has been collected with the Large Hadron Collider at the European research center CERN (Switzerland).
Conversely, the research aims to gain novel insights into AI-based predictions. The doctoral network will be coordinated by Dr Anja Butter, a group leader at the Institute for Theoretical Physics at Heidelberg University and at the Laboratoire de physique nucléaire et des hautes énergies (LPNHE), which belongs to the Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS) and Sorbonne University (France). Participating on the Heidelberg side are also Prof. Dr Tilman Plehn (Theoretical Physics) and Prof. Dr Jürgen Hesser, a scientist at the Mannheim Institute for Intelligent Systems in Medicine, which is located at the Medical Faulty Mannheim of Heidelberg University. Partners at the European level are, besides the CNRS and the Sorbonne, the universities of Milan (Italy), Geneva (Switzerland) and Copenhagen (Denmark). All five universities are members of the 4EU+ European University Alliance.
