The Physics Department sponsored one of our undergraduate students, Annie Xie, to attend the 2023 CCUWiP (Canadian Conference for Undergraduate Women in Physics) at the University of Regina last month. Annie gave a talk, Population Coding: Solving Point-Like Non-Linearity, about some of her thesis work on solving nonlinear problems using population coding. This work is a new spin on using neural networks to solve non linear problems modelled as partial differential equations.
Annie Xie is supervised by Prof. Bhavin Shastri.
