Dr. Lior Horesh is a Principal Research Scientist, Master Inventor, and Senior Manager of the Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science department at IBM Research. His department is a home to 30 full-time PhD researchers dedicated to advancing the frontiers of fundamental exploratory mathematics and theoretical computer science. Their mission is to approach some of the big challenges the field of AI is facing, from a principled mathematical angle. This involves conceiving and bringing in state-of-the-art mathematical theories, algorithms, and analysis tools, in hope of advancing fundamentally generalizability, scalability, and interpretability of AI. Additionally, Dr. Horesh holds an adjunct Associate Professor position at the Computer Science department of Columbia University, where he teaches graduate-level Advanced Machine Learning and Quantum Computing courses. Dr. Horesh received his Ph.D. in 2006 from UCL and joined IBM in 2009. His research work focuses on algorithmic and theoretical aspects of tensor algebra, numerical analysis, simulation of complex systems, inverse problems, non-linear optimization, experimental design, machine learning, quantum computing, and the interplay between first principles models and AI in the context of symbolic scientific discovery.
