Biography
Giuseppe Carleo is a computational quantum physicist, whose main focus is the development of advanced numerical algorithms tostudy challenging problems involving strongly interacting quantum systems.
He is best known for the introduction of machine learning techniques to study both equilibrium and dynamical properties,
based on a neural-network representations of quantum states, as well for the time-dependent variational Monte Carlo method.
He earned a Ph.D. in Condensed Matter Theory from the International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA) in Italy in 2011.
He held postdoctoral positions at the Institut d’Optique in France and ETH Zurich in Switzerland, where he also
served as a lecturer in computational quantum physics.
In 2018, he joined the Flatiron Institute in New York City in 2018 at the Center for Computational Quantum Physics (CCQ), working as a Research Scientist and project leader, and also leading the development of the open-source project NetKet.
Since September 2020 he is an assistant professor at EPFL, in Switzerland, leading the Computational Quantum Science Laboratory (CQSL).
