The Theoretical Advanced Study Institute in Elementary Particle Physics (TASI) recently concluded its 40th year, bringing 65 students from around the world to Boulder to delve into the 鈥淔rontiers of Particle Theory.鈥澨�
Supported by the National Science Foundation and the 麻豆免费版下载, TASI brings graduate students to Boulder every summer to explore an advanced topic in theoretical particle physics presented by distinguished lecturers. Professors Oliver DeWolfe and Ethan Neil serve as local organizers and Co-Directors of TASI.听
鈥淎s in previous years,鈥痺e were delighted to host a large group of talented particle theory graduate students here in Boulder for this year鈥檚 TASI summer school,鈥� said DeWolfe and Neil. 听
They added, 鈥淭ASI was a great success, with four weeks of intense interactions among the students and expert lecturers from around the world who shared their knowledge on a wide variety of particle physics topics, including an emphasis on the use of cutting-edge machine learning and artificial intelligence methods.鈥澨�
As part of the summer program鈥檚 outreach efforts, Dr. Ben Nachmann from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory presented a public lecture on the use of AI to study fundamental interactions in particle physics.听
DeWolfe and Neil expressed praise for the scientific organizers behind the school鈥檚 focus each year. 鈥淎 rotating set of external scientific organizers ensures that the school鈥檚 focus is always topical and interesting.鈥� This year鈥檚 external organizers were Professors Nathaniel Craig (UC Santa Barbara), Tongyan Lin (UC San Diego) and Jesse Thaler (MIT).听
