Biography

Umberto Michelucci studied Theoretical Physics in Italy, the United States, Germany and England, focusing on simulations and the theory of high temperature superconductors. He obtained his PhD in Machine Learning applied to Physics from the Portsmouth University in England. He worked in various industries for many years, gaining industrial experience in various fields. He also founded and directed the AI Center of Excellence at Helsana Versicherung AG in Zürich. He is also the co-founder of the company TOELT LLC, that focuses on large international research project with a strong AI component. He is working often with Google and NVIDIA on various project. He has many years of teaching at various levels, Bachelor, Master, PhD and for continuing education. He also holds a Postgraduate Certificate in Higher Education.

He has written three books on Deep Learning with Springer Nature, and he is writing his fourth. A university textbook on deep learning for natural sciences that will come out in 2023.
