Background

About Nick Hay

It's an exciting time to be working in AI. I have a broad range of interests from applications in Bioinformatics to developing new AI models and understanding their theoretical basis. In particular, I continue to be inspired by the similarities and differences between artificial intelligence and biological intelligence. By deepening our understanding of one system we can better illuminate the other. My approach is shaped by my background in physics and engineering and the interplay between physics and AI is another area that can lead to interesting insights for both subjects.Personal summaryStrong research, technical and leadership background with senior level international experience in diverse roles.
