Gilles Louppe
Science with AI lab (SAIL), Montefiore Institute, University of Liège.

Hi there! My name is Gilles Louppe. I am a computer scientist and researcher specializing in artificial intelligence for science. I am currently appointed as a Professor at the University of Liège, Belgium.
My research efforts are focused on the development of deep learning models and methods for scientific applications, with a strong emphasis on (Bayesian) inverse problems in the physical sciences. I am the group leader of the Science with AI Lab (SAIL) at the Montefiore Institute, where we work on a variety of projects across sciences, including particle physics, astronomy, and weather science. Check out the SAIL group page for more information about the team and our work.
