杰西·泰勒被任命为核科学实验室主任

“在我自己的粒子物理领域,研究人员正在开发尖端的人工智能算法，以处理对撞机实验中的海量数据并执行英勇的理论计算。 Thaler 说，这项工作对发现新物理学有直接影响,，但算法本身的价值远远超出了我们的领域,”。 “I’m 很高兴能够将 LNS 引入 AI 驱动功能支持的下一波发现浪潮。”

“In my own field of particle physics, researchers are developing cutting-edge AI algorithms to handle the data deluge from collider experiments and to perform heroic theoretical calculations. This work has direct implications for discovering new physics, but the algorithms themselves turn out to be valuable well beyond our field,” says Thaler. “I’m excited to bring LNS into the next wave of discoveries supported by AI-driven capabilities.”

在 IAIFI,，塞勒倡导物理和人工智能交叉领域的教育和研究活动。 IAIFI 领导层与麻省理工学院数据,、系统, 和社会, 一起创建了物理学, 统计, 和数据科学博士项目。 IAIFI 还设立了专门的博士后奖学金，让早期职业研究人员能够自由地从事跨学科工作。

At IAIFI, Thaler has championed education and research activities at the intersection of physics and AI. With the MIT Institute for Data, Systems, and Society, IAIFI leadership created a doctoral program in physics, statistics, and data science. IAIFI also created dedicated postdoctoral fellowships to give early-career researchers the freedom to pursue interdisciplinary work.

“ 为年轻科学家提供跨领域建立联系的空间, 大学, 和职业阶段在 IAIFI,” 中已经发生了变革，Thaler, 表示，他希望将这种类型的框架引入 LNS。成立于 1946 年，旨在支持核物理和粒子物理, LNS 现在涵盖宇宙学, 引力, 场论, 和量子信息科学等领域的研究。

“Giving young scientists space to build connections across domains, universities, and career stages has been transformative within IAIFI,” says Thaler, who hopes to bring this type of framework to LNS. Established in 1946 to support nuclear and particle physics, LNS now encompasses research spanning cosmology, gravity, field theory, and quantum information science.

作为 LNS, 的负责人，塞勒还将监督他所在的 CTP-LI, 中心，该中心去年收到了 Leinweber 基金会的捐款，用于建立理论物理研究机构网络。根据科学慈善联盟,（一家促进科学慈善事业, 的非营利组织）的说法，这是该领域有史以来最大的慈善承诺。

As head of LNS, Thaler will also oversee his home center of CTP-LI, which last year received a donation from the Leinweber Foundation to establish a network of theoretical physics research institutes. According to the Science Philanthropy Alliance, a nonprofit organization that promotes philanthropy for science, this constitutes the largest philanthropic commitment ever for this field.

Thaler received his PhD in physics from Harvard University in 2006, and his BS in math/physics from Brown University in 2002. From 2006 to 2009, he was a fellow at the Miller Institute for Basic Research in Science at the University of California at Berkeley.他于 2010 年加入麻省理工学院教职。
