Physics for Future

About Physics for Future

Physics is our language to understand nature. It goes beyond formulas and allows us to shape the world. Hosted by Hanna Siemaszko, this podcast—brought to you by the Department of Physics and Materials Science (DPhyMS) at the University of Luxembourg—features conversations with some of the brightest minds in physics. You'll hear clear explanations about quantum mechanics, atomic clocks, laser cooling, AI, and data science from experts who know how to make these topics understandable. Originally launched as a lead-up to the Physics for Future conference, this three-episode miniseries makes complex ideas accessible for students and the curious public.

   From Physics to Computer Science: Symmetry in Neural Networks with Prof. Tess Smidt

   For the second episode we had the privilege of speaking with Professor Tess Smidt, Assistant Professor at MIT who specializes in the fields of Euclidean symmetry and neural networks. From her early days when she majored in physics and minored in architecture, to her current work in computer science, Tess has always sought to understand how different fields can inform one another. A particularly fascinating aspect of our conversation was Tess's focus on symmetry. She argues that incorpor...
