Our member Ruth Durrer (UNIGE) is the first portrait of the SCNAT portrait series of women scientists in Switzerland that will be published monthly during 2021.
Nikita, who is currently a Postdoc at the University of Sheffield, has won a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowship from the European Commission which he will start in September 2022. The project is "Abelianisation of Connections, Quantum Curves, and Spectral Clusters".
Our members Nicolas Gisin (UNIGE) and Renato Renner (ETH Zurich) are invited speakers of this online conference. In this second edition of the Quantum Limits of Knowledge (QLK21) the conference will feature 16 talks from prominent scholars, philosophers and physicists and two round tables.
The RTS children’s programme Brouhaha, interviewed SwissMAP Science Officer Elise Raphael earlier in March. We all have questions about maths! Fortunately, Mathscope has the answers to your questions! Especially when it comes to children’s questions.
Our member Nicolas Gisin has joined part-time the new Schaffhausen Institute of Technology (SIT) in Geneva. “The SIT is an international research-led institution founded by entrepreneurs, led by scientists, advanced by world-class researchers.”
Clément Hongler and his team from the Chair of Statistical Field Theory found a new way of understanding Artificial Neural Networks. Their 2018 paper has gathered a lot of attention from the scientific community and is now frequently used by researchers when they want to understand the training of large neural networks.
The Megamenger will be displayed at the Exhibition Hall at the University of Geneva starting mid-May. Bring us your level 1 contributions or come build it at the exhibition to help us make the level 3 come to life !
