Computer science graduate student invited to meet math and computer science laureates - WSU Insider

Graduate student Ariane Deshwal had the opportunity to meet the world's leading researchers in mathematics and computer science this fall. He intends to question how the first revolutionary ideas were conceived.

“I am very interested in how important it is for the sequence of ideas or ideas and approaches to be in raw form,” Deschwal said. "I would like to ask the laureates how they came up with some of the most important ideas for their research career."

Deshwal , a doctoral student in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, is believed to be the first student selected to attend the Heidelberg Laureates Forum at Washington State University. The week-long event is an online conference where 200 math and computer science students from around the world spend a week interacting with major award winners in these fields, such as the Abel Prize, ACAM Turing Prize and ACM Prize. . Informatics, Fields Medal and Nevanlinna Prize. The event will be held in Heidelberg in September.

"I am grateful to have been chosen to participate in the forum," Deshawal said. "This forum is a very prestigious place and I believe there are many equal candidates who deserve to be able to take part in the event. I feel my choice is just for all the people who helped me every day. Our worms."

A graduate student at WSU since 2018, Deshwal has researched new artificial intelligence algorithms aimed at improving experiments in high-impact science and engineering applications, including the development and design of nanomaterials, drugs, vaccines, and computer chips. He has published numerous peer-reviewed articles and presented at prestigious conferences, including the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS) and the International Conference on Machine Learning.

He was recently appointed Senior Research Fellow at Voyland College. He has worked as a fellow at Google Research, Meta Research and Samsung and holds a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics and Computer Science from Delhi Technological University.

“Arian is an outstanding graduate student who has demonstrated excellence in research, teaching, and professional service at the same time,” said Jana Dupa, George and Joanne Berry, Senior Associate Professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Deshwal's advisor. “He has a long academic career as a researcher. An exciting, innovative and impactful study of basic artificial intelligence (AI) that solves scientific and engineering problems to contribute to environmental sustainability.
