Mathis Gerdes

Incoming IAIFI Fellow @ MIT

I work where theoretical physics meets modern machine learning, understanding how symmetry, geometry, and probabilistic structure can shape computation—and what physics can teach us about learning. I obtained my PhD from the University of Amsterdam, working with Miranda Cheng and Christoph Weniger.
