To many people, the phrase “the theory of everything” conjures memories of the Oscar-winning film about the life and science of Prof. Stephen Hawking. Yet the quest referred to in that title goes back much further. It stretches from Galileo and Newton, via Einstein and Dirac, to the most recent advances in superstring theory.
In this event, Prof. Yang-Hui He presents the story as a dance of discovery between data, physics and mathematics
Speakers
Yang-Hui He is a Fellow at the London Institute, Professor at City University, Chang-Jiang Chair at NanKai University and Lecturer at Merton College, Oxford. He studied at Princeton, Cambridge and MIT and works at the interface of string theory, geometry and machine learning.
