Lenka ZdeborováLenka Zdeborová is a Professor of Physics and of Computer Science in École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne where she leads the Statistical Physics of Computation Laboratory. She received a PhD in physics from University Paris-Sud and from Charles University in Prague in 2008. She spent two years in the Los Alamos National Laboratory as the Director's Postdoctoral Fellow. Between 2010 and 2020 she was a researcher at CNRS working in the Institute of Theoretical Physics in CEA Saclay, France. In 2014, she was awarded the CNRS bronze medal, in 2016 Philippe Meyer prize in theoretical physics and an ERC Starting Grant, in 2018 the Irène Joliot-Curie prize, in 2021 the Gibbs lectureship of AMS. She is an editorial board member for Journal of Physics A, Physical Review E, Physical Review X, SIMODS, Machine Learning: Science and Technology, and Information and Inference. Lenka's expertise is in applications of concepts from statistical physics, such as advanced mean field methods, replica method and related message-passing algorithms, to problems in machine learning, signal processing, inference and optimization. She enjoys erasing the boundaries between theoretical physics, mathematics and computer science.

Federico AmatoI have an MSc in Engineering and a Ph.D. in Sustainable Development and Innovation Engineering. After a three-year Postdoc in Environmental Data Mining, in 2021 I joined the Swiss Data Science Centre, a joint venture between the polytechnical schools of Lausanne (EPFL) and Zurich (ETH) having as mission the acceleration of the digital transformation of the academic community and the industrial sector, putting to work Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning and facilitating the multidisciplinary exchange of data and knowledge.
Over the years I worked on the development of methodological tools to mine and model big spatiotemporal datasets. I extensively applied such methods to study the interaction between the spatial and temporal components of environmental and geographical phenomena, and their consequences in terms of spatial planning and urban geography. My academic activity has focused on the analysis of land-use dynamics and their relationship with climate, pollution, natural hazards, and other social/economic phenomena. I have deep competencies in applied statistics, machine learning, geocomputation, spatial statistics, urban modeling, and remote sensing. I am also an expert in European Project development and implementation.
Guillaume Romain ObozinskiGuillaume Obozinski is Deputy Chief Data Scientist at the Swiss Data Science Center. He graduated with a PhD in Statistics from UC Berkeley in 2009. He did his postdoc and held until 2012 a researcher position in the Willow and Sierra teams at INRIA and Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris. He was then Research Faculty at Ecole des Ponts ParisTech until 2018. Guillaume has broad interests in statistics and machine learning and worked over time on sparse modeling, optimization for large scale learning, graphical models, relational learning and semantic embeddings, with applications in various domains from computational biology to computer vision.
