Spotlight on Ana Lucic

#WomenInELLIS
Meet Ana Lucic, Assistant Professor at University of Amsterdam 🇳🇱 with a joint position between the Institute for Logic, Language and Computation (ILLC) and the Informatics Institute. She is an ELLIS Member and member of the ELLIS Unit Amsterdam.

In her research, she works on (mechanistic) interpretability for applications in science and society. Nature recently published results of her and her team's AI-powered weather forecasting model, Microsoft Research's Aurora. It explains how the model goes beyond weather forecasting to more accurately predict a range of environmental events, from hurricanes and typhoons to air quality and ocean waves.

Check out her advice for young scientists starting their careers.
