Seminar Title<\/strong>: A Case Study in AI Hype: Hard Lessons about AI in Science<\/p>\n

Speaker: <\/strong>Nick McGreivy, PhD Plasma Physics, Princeton University<\/p>\n

Date:<\/strong> Thursday, September 11, 2025<\/p>\n

Time:<\/strong> 2:30 PM-3:30 PM (Virtual)<\/p>\n

Location:<\/strong>\u00a0Hybrid, Bldg. 240, Conference Room 4301<\/p>\n

Description<\/strong>: In this talk, we examine how and why research using machine learning (ML) to solve partial differential equations (PDEs) has reached overly optimistic conclusions [1]. We then discuss why this is happening. Finally, we discuss some of the lessons from this experience that likely generalize across AI-for-science [2].<\/p>\n

Bio: <\/strong>Nick McGreivy was born and raised in Maryland. He studied Physics at the University of Pennsylvania, then went to Princeton for a PhD in plasma physics to work on fusion energy. He eventually shifted his research focus to using machine learning for problems in physics. He recently graduated, and is now at the end of a year-long sabbatical.<\/p>\n
