DESCRIPTION:\n	A coffee break will be served prior the event\n	at 10:30 in
  the Leonardo Building entrance hall.\n\n	\n	ICTP is launching a new serie
 s of colloquia dedicated to AI for scientific discovery that will explore 
 how advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are transforming the way we a
 pproach fundamental scientific questions. The series will bring together l
 eading researchers working at the intersection of AI and science\, and hig
 hlight emerging methods\, breakthroughs\, and new opportunities for discov
 ery across disciplines.\n\n	In this first colloquium\, Sebastian Ehlert o
 f Microsoft Research AI for Science will present research at the interse
 ction of AI and the natural sciences\, spanning materials discovery\, mole
 cular synthesis\, biomolecular modelling\, and electronic-structure theory
 . In particular\, he will focus on Skala\, a deep learning-based exchange
 -correlation functional that aims to make Density Functional Theory (DFT) 
 systematically more accurate and predictive by learning directly from high
 -quality quantum-chemical data.\n\n	About the speaker\n\n	Sebastian Ehlert
  is a Senior Researcher at Microsoft Research AI for Science\, working on 
 machine-learning approaches to DFT and highly accurate quantum chemistry a
 t scale. His research includes the development of the Skala functional and
  the Microsoft Research Accurate Chemistry Collection (MSR-ACC). He also c
 ontributes to the development of extended tight binding (xTB) methods and 
 actively maintains open-source scientific software.\n	 \n\n	Video recordi
