Seminar I: Edoardo Fabbrini Séminaire I: Edoardo Fabbrini

Edoardo Fabbrini, a third-year PhD student in applied mathematics at Kyushu University, presented an automated framework for designing novel Diarylethene derivatives with targeted HOMO-LUMO bandgaps. The platform combines Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations with evolutionary optimization algorithms, and explores continuum models for thin membranes containing dislocations in crystalline lattices.

Edoardo Fabbrini a présenté un cadre automatisé pour la conception de nouveaux dérivés de diaryléthène avec des bandes interdites HOMO-LUMO ciblées.

Seminar II: Jonathan Shock Séminaire II: Jonathan Shock

Prof. Jonathan Shock, Associate Professor at the University of Cape Town and Adjunct Professor at INRS-EMT, presented the vision for building an AI Institute at UCT with a distinctive mission: AI for a just world — with Africa, by Africa, from Africa. The institute pursues AI for social good in health, climate, poverty, and AI safety.

Le Prof. Jonathan Shock a présenté la vision de la création d'un institut d'IA à l'UCT avec une mission distinctive: l'IA pour un monde juste — avec l'Afrique, par l'Afrique, depuis l'Afrique.
