Our vision

In a sector that often sees us working in isolation, we are building a thriving community of researchers dedicated to solving complex, real-world challenges. Through interdisciplinary collaboration, we will advance knowledge and innovation, empowering the next generation of researchers to lead in both academia and industry.

Our core focus areas

We are committed to training the next generation of AI researchers, advancing AI research across several key scientific domains, with a strong emphasis on three core themes critical to the development of new AI capabilities for complex systems:

  • Uncertainty in complex systems
  • Decision-making with humans in the loop
  • Decision-making for machine learning system.

These areas are designed to accelerate new scientific discoveries, specifically in the fields of astronomy, engineering biology, and material science.
