Hello

I’m Alistair, a PhD student in the Earth System Modeling group at the Technical University of Munich and the Artificial Intelligence group at the Potsdam-Institut für Klimafolgenforschung.

In my research I develop methods for solving problems at the intersection of physics, numerical simulation, and machine learning. Motivated by applications to Earth system modeling, I am particularly interested in using physics to constrain deep learning models such as neural differential equations and neural operators.

Here’s a non-exhaustive list of research interests: scientific machine learning, machine learning for Earth system modeling, neural differential equations, neural operators, diffusion models, reservoir computing, machine learning for dynamical systems, hybrid modeling, differentiable programming, all kinds of physics-based inductive biases.
