This is the summary for researchers in AI for Science. Currently, the updating list only contained people in the field of AI + applied mathematics and mechanics sorted by Shizheng Wen. Other fields like AI + Molecular dynamics, materials/chemistry/biology will be sorted out soon.
(:notebook: Please notice that this list is very subjective, it only contained the researchers the creator so far. Also, please ignore the note, which is only some characteristics for me to remember.)
Most of the following researchers have a strong background in applied mathematics (numerical analysis and dynamical systems) and data science (machine learning, optimization and statistics), and come from the department of computer science and mathematics in different universities or research institutes (DeepMind, MSR, Google and etc.). They are in the mainstream machine learning community and perfer to publish paper in machine learning conference.
