PhD

Mila - Université de Montréal, Montréal, Canada

• Supervised by Prof. Yoshua Bengio
• Focus on applications of AI in the fight against climate change
• Visualizing the consequences of climate change (2019-2022)
  • Problematic: GANs were invented at Mila. Can we use them for good?
  • Solution: Use GANs to trigger empathy through personalized visualizations of climate change-related extreme events: floods, wildfires and smog.
  • Website: thisclimatedoesnotexist.com where you can search for any address on Google Street View and see what that place would look like if it were impacted by one of the aforementioned extreme events. The ultimate test set!
  • Paper: ClimateGAN: Raising Climate Change Awareness by Generating Images of Floods (ICLR 2022)
• Measuring the carbon impact of AI (2019-2022)
  • Problematic: AI is a promising tool to fight climate change, but it also has a carbon footprint. How can we measure it?
  • Solution: create tools for the community to measure the carbon impact of their AI models and experiments.
  • Online calculator: Quantifying the Carbon Emissions of Machine Learning (Climate Change AI workshop, NeurIPS 2019) -> mlco2.github.io/impact
  • Python package: codecarbon
• Materials discovery (2022-now)
  • Problematic: Materials discovery is a slow and expensive process. Can we use AI to accelerate it?
  • Solution: Use GFlowNets to explore the space of electro-catalysts and hope to discover materials able to improve the energy efficiency of electro-chemical reactions such as the electrolysis of hydrogene for energy storage.
  • Paper: PhAST: Physics-Aware, Scalable, and Task-specific GNNs for Accelerated Catalyst Design (under review, JMLR)
  • Paper: FAENet: Frame Averaging Equivariant GNN for Materials Modeling (ICML 2023)
  • Work in progress: using GflowNets to sample crystal structures
  • Future work: putting it all together, using FAENet as a reward function for the GFlowNet and sample electro-catalysts
