11-588: Funded by the Boehringer Ingelheim Foundation with 150 million euros for 12 years, the institute is designed to foster collaboration between experts in AI and life sciences. Its goal is to develop innovative research approaches to better understand diseases, enhance diagnostic accuracy, and contribute to the development of new treatments for currently incurable conditions. Michael Bronstein , AI researcher, entrepreneur, and DeepMind Professor at

22-531: A Reuters interview on the use of geometric approaches in three-dimensional face recognition . As a professor of computer science, Bronstein has authored over 100 journal, and has over 30 patents to his name. In addition to his academic activities, he co-founded and served as the Vice President of technology in the Silicon Valley start-up company Novafora, from 2005 to 2009. Bronstein was also

33-740: A Radcliffe fellow, 2017-2018 ), the Institute for Advanced Study at Technical University of Munich (as Rudolf Diesel industrial fellow, 2017-2019 ) and the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton (as visitor, 2020 ). Bronstein was a co-founder of the Israeli startup Invision, developing a coded-light 3D range sensor. The company was acquired by Intel in 2012 and has become the foundation of Intel RealSense technology. Bronstein served as Principal Engineer at Intel between 2012 and 2019, playing

44-488: A leading role in the development of RealSense. In 2018, Bronstein founded Fabula AI , a London-based startup aiming to solve the problem of online disinformation by looking at how it spreads on social networks . The company was acquired by Twitter in 2019. He served as Head of Graph Learning Research at Twitter between 2019 and 2023. Bronstein's research interests are broadly in theoretical and computational geometric methods for data analysis. His research encompasses

55-407: A spectrum of applications ranging from machine learning, computer vision, and pattern recognition to geometry processing, computer graphics, and imaging. He is mainly known for his research on deformable 3D shape analysis and "geometric deep learning " (a term he coined ), generalizing neural network architectures to manifolds and graphs. These methods have been applied to molecular design. Bronstein

66-485: Is also the recipient of five ERC grants, two Google Faculty Research awards, and two Amazon AWS ML Research grants. Bronstein is married with two children. He is the identical twin brother of Alex Bronstein . Alex Bronstein Alex Bronstein (born May 28, 1980) is an Israeli computer scientist and serial technologist. He is a professor of Computer Science and Machine Learning at Technion, where he holds

77-592: Is temporarily housed in the Marxbox building at the Vienna BioCenter, while a new building is developed on campus. The name "Aithrya" was generated using AI, reflecting the institute's innovative spirit and a fusion of Greek mythology with modern science. Michael Bronstein Michael Bronstein (b. 1980) is an Israeli computer scientist and entrepreneur. He is a computer science professor at

88-756: The University of Oxford and scientific director of Aithyra Institute at the Vienna Biocenter in Austria . Bronstein received his PhD from the Technion in 2007. Since 2010, he has been a professor at University of Lugano , Switzerland , affiliated with the Institute of Computational Science and IDSIA. Between 2018 and 2021, he held the Chair in Machine Learning and Pattern Recognition in

99-463: The University of Oxford , serves as the founding scientific director. Aityhra's work is based on the principles of early integration of AI in biomedical research, ensuring that AI experts are involved from the start of experiments and data analysis, which differs from traditional practices where AI is applied retrospectively. The institute emphasizes open-access principles, making its research data freely available to scientists worldwide. The institute

110-842: The Dan Broida Academic Chair and the Schmidt Chair in Artificial Intelligence. He is also a fellow of the IEEE for his contribution to 3D imaging and geometry processing. Bronstein received a PhD in Computer Science in 2007, and co-authored the book Numerical Geometry of Non-rigid Shapes (with Ron Kimmel ). At Technion, he also won the Hershel Rich Technion innovation award. Prior to his PHD, in 2003, Bronstein appeared in

121-648: The Department of Computing, Imperial College London . In 2022, he joined the Department of Computer Science at the University of Oxford as the DeepMind Professor of Artificial Intelligence . Bronstein has held visiting appointments at Stanford University between 2009 and 2010, and at Harvard University and MIT between 2017 and 2018. He has been affiliated with the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard University (as
