معرفی
Augusto Gerolin is an Assistant Professor jointly appointed in the Departments of Mathematics and Statistics and Chemistry and Biomolecular Sciences at the University of Ottawa. He holds a Tier II Canada Research Chair in Artificial Intelligence at the Interface of Chemistry and Mathematics. His research focuses on Optimal Transport Theory, Mathematical Physics, Theoretical and Computational Chemistry, and Machine Learning. Gerolin’s work bridges quantum chemistry, mathematical analysis, and computational methods, with applications in Density Functional Theory and quantum information science.
He obtained his PhD from the University of Pisa and was a Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellow at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. He is a member of the European Laboratory for Learning and Intelligent Systems (ELLIS) and leads a research group exploring AI-driven solutions in chemistry and mathematics. His current projects include developing optimal transport frameworks for quantum systems, advancing machine learning algorithms in scientific computing, and fostering collaborations across disciplines through initiatives like the OQMG Network.
Gerolin’s research has led to advancements in multi-marginal optimal transport, entropy-regularized methods, and the strong-interaction limit of density functional theory. His group actively collaborates with institutions worldwide, including the Fields Institute, IPAM, and the University of Genoa. He has supervised numerous PhD, Master’s, and undergraduate students, many of whom have contributed to cutting-edge studies in computational chemistry, quantum algorithms, and mathematical analysis.
Key awards include the Canada Research Chair designation, and his work has been supported by grants from NSERC, MITACS, and the University of Ottawa. Gerolin is also committed to diversity in science, endorsing principles such as the Diversity Axioms, and advocates for academic solidarity with researchers affected by global conflicts.
