Biography
Prof. Andrey Ustyuzhanin – Director of AI/ML research at Acronis, visiting research professor at NUS, and a PI at the IFIM. His research’s primary priority is designing new Machine Learning methods and using them to solve tough scientific challenges, thus improving the fundamental understanding of our world. Before joining NUS, he worked with LHCb – one of the LHC experiments at CERN. Amongst the project he has been working on are efficiency improvement of online triggers at LHCb, speed up BDT-based online processing, development of the algorithm for tracking in scintillators optical fiber detectors, and many others. Discovering the deeper truth about the Universe by applying data analysis methods is the primary source of inspiration in Andrey’s lifelong journey. Andrey is a co-author of the course on Machine Learning aimed at solving Particle Physics challenges at Coursera and organizer of the annual international summer schools following similar topics.
