Talks

A few selected talks.

Google’s AI-based Weather and Climate Modeling with NeuralGCM

BuzzRobot, Palo Alto — October 2024.

An overview of NeuralGCM, a technical deep-dive into the model, and my perspective on the field of AI weather and climate modeling. This is the talk I’d recommend if you only watch one.

NeuralGCM — CLEX Seminar Series

ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes — 2024.

A research-audience version of the NeuralGCM talk, with more detail on the science and on how the model fits into the broader weather/climate modeling landscape.

Deep learning and differentiable simulations

Google — 2021.

A broader take on my AI-for-science research program: why differentiable simulations are a natural meeting point for machine learning and traditional scientific computing, and what we have learned from applying the approach to fluid dynamics, structural optimization, and quantum chemistry.

Introducing xray: N-D Labeled Arrays and Datasets

SciPy 2015.

The original Xarray launch talk. Why labeled multi-dimensional arrays make working with scientific data dramatically easier, and how Xarray builds on NumPy and Pandas.
