CATEGORIES:ECS Seminars
CONTACT:Prof. Frank Krauss
DESCRIPTION:The Centre for Data Science and Artificial Intelligence is plea
 sed to welcome Professor Frank Krauss. During  this seminar Professor Krau
 ss will discuss the intricate connection of data that informs models which
  in turn aims at representing and understanding the reality that gives ris
 e to the data.  Professor Krauss will highlight common challenges and limi
 tations in the application of data science\, which are often based in a mi
 smatch of domain knowledge and technical skills. Moreover\, Professor Krau
 ss will talk about the significance of  collaborative efforts between doma
 in specialists and data scientists.\n\nProfessor Frank Krauss is a renowne
 d academic currently serving as the Director of the Institute for Data Sci
 ence at Durham University\, and a Professor in the Department of Physics a
 nd the Centre for Particle Theory. His academic journey began with undergr
 aduate studies at TH Darmstadt\, followed by a PhD at TU Dresden\, and sev
 eral postdoctoral positions. His research focuses on the phenomenology of 
 particle physics\, a branch of theoretical physics that bridges the gap be
 tween abstract models for the fundamental interaction of matter and experi
 mental phenomena. He has made significant contributions to the field\, inc
 luding the development of the SHERPA Monte Carlo event generator\, a simul
 ation tool that describes experimental reality in great detail. Professor 
 Krauss has also been involved in the development of JUNE\, an open-source 
 framework for the detailed simulation of epidemics based on social interac
 tions in a virtual population. Motivated by the Covid-19 pandemic\, Krauss
  developed an interest in the simulation of epidemics and how they spread 
 through a population. The JUNE model has been used for Covid-19 planning a
 nd has the potential to be applied internationally. It has also been adapt
 ed by three of his students\, in collaboration with the United Nations and
  the World Health Organisation\, to the situation in refugee camps.
