SFU MOCAD Seminar: Dr. Charles Cheung

Machine learning is transforming the way we approach the laws of nature. PhysicsML — the fusion of machine learning with physics-based modeling — is rapidly advancing fields from computational biology and climate forecasting to product design and high-fidelity CFD simulations. These breakthroughs are pushing the boundaries of what we can model, predict, and design. But where do we go from here?

In this talk, we explore the emerging frontier of Physical AI: intelligent systems that understand and interact with the physical world through the combined power of machine learning, physics-based models, and physically accurate simulations. We will share NVIDIA’s vision for enabling this future—where PhysicsML serves as the engine, simulation platforms provide realistic virtual worlds, and the results drive the next generation of robotics, autonomous vehicles, and beyond. The era of machines that not only think but also reason about the physical world has begun. Let’s see what comes next.
