Join a thought-provoking talk by Johannes Brandstetter from Johannes Kepler University as he explores how large language models and AI scaling techniques are transforming scientific and engineering domains. Discover recent advances in weather and climate modeling, and learn how these connect to computer vision, physics-informed learning, and neural operators. Brandstetter addresses key challenges that must be overcome for the next wave of scientific disruption and showcases breakthroughs in multi-physics modeling, molecular dynamics, computational fluid dynamics, and nuclear fusion. With his background spanning from CERN's Large Hadron Collider to Microsoft Research and his current role as Chief Scientist at Emmi AI, Brandstetter offers unique insights into how the latent space is becoming the frontier for scientific innovation. This DDPS seminar was organized by the libROM team at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory on May 2nd, 2025.
