The Munib and Angela Masri Institute of Energy and Natural Resources at AUB hosted a talk on Enhancing the Scientific Foundations of Artificial Intelligence by Professor Peter Coveney on Wednesday March 5, 2025 at 10:00 am Beirut time. The talk was followed by a Q & A.
Peter Coveney is a Professor of Physical Chemistry, Honorary Professor of Computer Science, and Director of the Centre for Computational Science (CCS) and Associate Director of the Advanced Research Computing Centre at University College London (UCL). He is also Professor of Applied High Performance Computing at the University of Amsterdam (UvA) and Professor Adjunct at the Yale School of Medicine, Yale University. He is a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering and Member of Academia Europaea. Dr Coveney has made outstanding contributions across a wide range of scientific and engineering fields, including physics, chemistry, chemical engineering, materials, computer science, high performance computing and biomedicine, much
of it harnessing the power of supercomputing to conduct original research at unprecedented space and time scales. He has shown influential leadership across these fields, manifested through running multiple initiatives and multi-partner interdisciplinary grants, in the UK, Europe and the US. In addition to his scientific writings and publications, he has published three books for the general reader, The Arrow of Time, Frontiers of Complexity and Virtual You. His latest book Molecular Dynamics: Probability and Uncertainty will be published by Oxford University Press in 2025.
