From black holes to AI in mathematics: AI Innovation in Mathematics and Health with Yaron Hadad

Tech on the Rocks

In this episode, we chat with Yaron Hadad, a fascinating individual who transitioned from theoretical physics to entrepreneurship.

We explore his groundbreaking work on black holes and gravitational waves, and learn about the Ramanujan Machine - an algorithmic system he helped develop that discovers new mathematical formulas and democratizes mathematical research. We'll hear about the scientific community's mixed reactions to this innovative approach.

The conversation then shifts to his work with Neutrino, a company he founded that uses AI and continuous monitoring devices to understand how food affects individual health. We delve into the complexities of nutrition science, the challenges of processing multiple data streams, and the future of personalized health monitoring.

Throughout the episode, Yaron shares insights on bridging theoretical research with practical applications, and the role of AI in advancing both pure mathematics and healthcare.
