Scientific Machine Learning at University of Leeds

Hi!

Welcome to the website for people interested in scientific machine learning (SciML) at Leeds (SciML is the discipline of combining machine learning with scientific computing see e.g. sciml.ai for an overview). This website serves to organise our work and allow others to join us.

If you’re based at Leeds and would like to join:

  • you can simply make a pull-request to add yourself to this website: people.md
  • or instead of a pull request, use the automated form here

We meet the first Friday of every month at 11am UK/local time in our home in LIDA (Leeds Institute for Data Analytics), Worsley Building, 11th Floor, room 11.87. (.ics-file download to add the event to your calendar). We also organise seminars and workshops, as well as send out a monthly newsletter.

View the SciML newsletter archives here.
