IAIFI Fellow

Carol Cuesta-Lazaro

Undergrad in Physics

Madrid (Spain)

Heidelberg (Germany)

2017: first ML project as an assistant researcher

First time can combine all my interests!

PhD in Data Intensive Science

Durham (UK)

Working on cosmology (theory)

+ Industry placements

IAIFI Committees

How I thought it would look like

How it looks like

Industry Partnership

Helped organise industry lunches

Early Career and Equity

Moderated panel on Industry x Academia collaborations (IAIFI workshop 2024)

Yearly gathering feedback from ECRs

Pushed for fellows involvement in felowship hiring

(Marisa and Thomas thinking about all the work this will really take that we are totally overlooking)

Why IAIFI works

Bring postdocs excited about AI+Physics

+ get them great junior collaborators

+ gpus

=

New ideas, best practices and state of the art ML

+ resources

New community at the intersection

summer schools, hackathons, workshops
