Agenda


Check-in
Bridging Brains and Bots: From Neural Intelligence to Applied AI Systems	Ever wondered how deep insights into the human brain can be transformed into groundbreaking, real-world AI? Join us for an immersive session that traces the journey of Neurogati as a case study in translating computational neuroscience into cutting-edge artificial intelligence. Discover how fundamental questions about decision-making, motor control, learning, and injury recovery are modeled using neural networks, reinforcement learning, and brain-inspired dynamical frameworks to bridge the gap between biological and machine intelligence. Step beyond basic simulation to explore how brain-inspired principles are revolutionizing fields like neurorehabilitation, digital therapeutics, and advanced neurological assessment. Using real-world examples from Neurogati's research and technology pipeline. This workshop will give engineers, developers, and tech innovators a practical blueprint for building the next generation of intelligent systems.

Lunch
From Code to Discovery: Building an AI Scientist for Astrophysics Research	From automated drug discovery to solving complex mathematical theorems, AI Scientists are rapidly moving from science fiction to reality, transforming how discovery happens across many fields of science. But what actually makes an AI capable of reasoning through complex scientific workflows on its own? This talk cuts through the buzz to examine the mechanics of agentic science systems. We’ll explore how to build an AI Scientist that is not just capable of literature exploration and LLM-driven reasoning, but can also carry out domain-specific experiments, use dedicated instruments and tools, explore novel solution strategies to plan, execute, and adapt on the fly. I’ll walk you through how I built an AI Scientist specifically designed to tackle complex astrophysics workflows. We’ll dive under the hood of a multi-agentic framework created to autonomously orchestrate gravitational lensing simulations using tools that save precious time and investigative resources for human scientists. You’ll leave with a practical look at how these architectures function in the real world and a blueprint for building autonomous AI Scientists for your own domain.
