Favourite scientists of all time

The 3 of my most favourite scientists - John von Neumann, John Archibald Wheeler, and Ray Solomonoff, in Salvador Dali’s art style (using the Android app Moment Cam).

Fav Scientists

And among those who are still among us, it’s Charles Bennett and Leonard Susskind.

AIT researchers

In his blog, Marcus Hutter curates a list of famous AIT (Algorithmic Information Theory) researchers. In this list, I intend to curate the famous as well as the young researchers of this rather niche field.

Symbolic Regression researchers

Symbolic regression and symbolic distillation are crucial types of learning that explore the interface of symbolic and sub-symbolic representations.

QCE/QSE researchers

Quantum computing, while being an interdisciplinary venture, is currently dominated by researchers with a background in quantum physics. My firm conviction is that it requires more researchers to wear computer engineering hats as their primary perspective. Here’s a list of some researchers working on engineering challenges in quantum computer architecture and software.

On the shoulder of giants

I have been deeply inspired by many giants in the scientific community. I hold them in the highest regard, for either their thoughts resonate well with mine or their propositions fuel my neural engines. While unification has been the holy grail for too long, I find clues lurking in the works of these great men.

…and among those who are still around

… the list keeps growing as the horizon of my knowledge widens.
