Conglong Li (Senior Research Scientist, Google DeepMind, UK)
Akinori Tanaka (Senior Research Scientist, RIKEN Center for Advanced Intelligence Project (AIP))

Summer school for modern AI methods and their applications in scientific discovery. We want to answer the questions in AI for Science, Why do you need AI for your research? Which AI is most suitable for your needs? How can you use AI properly for your task? The school will cover both lectures and hands-on coding sessions, with topics including machine learning basics, generative models, Bayesian and simulation-based inference, foundation models and LLM agents. The problems include, experiment-to-phenomenology (inference and prediction), computation (generation), theory (auto-workflow and Co-Scientist), etc.

New computational methods in quantum field theory 2026

January 26 (Mon) - 28 (Wed) 2026

Recent developments in quantum computers and related theoretical/technical advancements have brought attention to "new computational methods in quantum field theory" in the fields of high energy/nuclear physics. Main targets of this school are graduate students and postdocs. This school provides opportunities to discuss recent research trends and their applications through lectures by experts and presentations by participants. Lecturers: Junichi Haruna (University of Osaka) "Introduction to Quantum Error Correction (tentative)" Yoshimasa Hidaka (Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics/RIKEN iTHEMS) “Introduction to Hamiltonian Lattice Gauge Theory (tentative)” Tokiro Numasawa (University of Tokyo) "Open Majorana system (tentative)"

g-RIPS-Sendai 2023

June 19 (Mon) - August 8 (Tue) 2023

The Research in Industrial Projects for Students (RIPS) program has been held at the Institute for Pure & Applied Mathematics (IPAM) of the University of California, Los Angeles. In 2018, the Advanced Institute for Materials Research (AIMR) at Tohoku University in Sendai launched the g-RIPS-Sendai program in collaboration with IPAM, targeting graduate-level students in mathematical science and related disciplines. Participants from the U.S. and Japan will work on cross-cultural teams on research projects designed by industrial partners. The projects are expected to be of great interest to the partners and offer stimulating challenges to students. For more information on this year's g-RIPS-Sendai 2023, please visit the program website at the related link. Organizers: Research Alliance Center for Mathematical Science (RACMaS), Tohoku University Tohoku Forum for Creativity (TFC), Tohoku University Advanced Institute for Materials Research (AIMR), Tohoku University In cooperation with the following organizations: RIKEN Interdisciplinary Theoretical and Mathematical Sciences Program (iTHEMS) Institute for Pure & Applied Mathematics (IPAM), UCLA

Venue: Advanced Institute for Materials Research (AIMR), Tohoku University

g-RIPS Sendai 2019

June 17 (Mon) - August 9 (Fri) 2019

GRIPS (Graduate-level Research in Industrial Projects for Students)-Sendai program was held last summer (June 18 - Aug. 10, 2018) with the support of iTHEMS as well as other institutions and companies. Two industrial projects were launched under the suggestion of TOYOTA and NEC, and two teams composed of US and Japanese students have worked intensively to find solutions of these problems. See for the details of the GRIPS program and the summary of activities at GRIPS-Sendai 2018. This year, GRIPS-Sendai program will be held from June 17 through Aug. 9, 2019 with a larger scale under the support of iTHEMS. Stay tuned for further information.
