Research Topics

  • Geometric Deep Learning (Graph Networks, Equivariant Networks)   -- on it right now!
  • Physics-inspired and physics-informed machine learning -- on it right now!
  • Modeling of Dynamical Systems and Partial Differential Equations -- on it right now!
  • Hopfield Networks, Transformers and Associative Memories -- some time ago
  • Few Shot Learning, Representation Learning -- some time ago
  • Reinforcement Learning -- some time ago
  • Generative Modeling -- some time ago
  • Particle Physics (Higgs boson physics) -- quite some time ago (I can't say I found the Higgs boson, but was one of the guys measuring some of its most important properties).
