Margherita Molaro (Imperial College)

Description

In 2022 I transitioned from research in computational astrophysics to healthcare system modelling. I found most of the tools, techniques, and skills acquired during my work in astrophysics to be readily translatable to the new field, and the collaboration with experts from different backgrounds an extremely positive and stimulating experience for all those involved. In this talk, I will discuss my personal experience of this transition, and why I became a believer in multidisciplinary collaborations. I will also discuss my current work leveraging generative AI to optimise the performance of these simulations.
