Comments, questions, or concerns about the future direction of the SciML tools? Come here to discuss what we want to see in the near future.
This BoF will be a discussion of the SciML roadmap. We will start with a brief update from last years State of SciML JuliaCon talk, what has changed and what was successfully added, and open the floor for a discussion on what features the community would like to see, the difficulties and timelines involved, and understand use cases. Hopefully this also invites new contributors into the fold as well!
Dr. Chris Rackauckas is the VP of Modeling and Simulation at JuliaHub, the Director of Scientific Research at Pumas-AI, Co-PI of the Julia Lab at MIT, and the lead developer of the SciML Open Source Software Organization. For his work in mechanistic machine learning, his work is credited for the 15,000x acceleration of NASA Launch Services simulations and recently demonstrated a 60x-570x acceleration over Modelica tools in HVAC simulation, earning Chris the US Air Force Artificial Intelligence Accelerator Scientific Excellence Award. See more at https://chrisrackauckas.com/. He is the lead developer of the Pumas project and has received a top presentation award at every ACoP in the last 3 years for improving methods for uncertainty quantification, automated GPU acceleration of nonlinear mixed effects modeling (NLME), and machine learning assisted construction of NLME models with DeepNLME. For these achievements, Chris received the Emerging Scientist award from ISoP.
