Higgs Bosons and Climate Change
Germán is a Senior Researcher at Alpiq which defines himself as a particle physicist fighting climate change using machine learning.
​
He will explain a storyline from a personal perspective of the hunt of the Higgs particle, and how it inspired him to embark in the fight against climate change exploiting machine learning.
This talk will be in English.

Unlocking the Secrets of Alien Worlds
Chloe is a PhD Candidate in the Centre for Space and Habitability at the University of Bern. She developes models for the atmospheres of a diverse range of exoplanets. They use these models to train a machine learning algorithm, which can then determine what these distant planets might be like, and whether they could potentially harbour life.
​
She will explain how exoplanet scientists can use telescopes to study the atmospheres of distant planets in our galaxy and determine if they could harbour alien life. She will show you the vast diversity of exoplanets we have found so far - unimaginable worlds with extreme conditions like nothing in our Solar System. She will also explain how machine learning algorithms are being used to analyse these planets and unlock their secrets.
This talk will be in English.
