Giuseppe Carleo is an associate professor and computational physicist based in Lausanne who develops advanced numerical algorithms at the intersection of quantum physics, machine learning and quantum computing. With a trajectory spanning the Simons Foundation, ETH Zürich and EPFL, he focuses on solving strongly interacting quantum many-body problems for condensed matter, ultracold atoms and quantum technologies. He leads research applying artificial intelligence to quantum problems and has been a core back-end contributor to NetKet, a prominent open-source library for machine learning applied to many-body quantum systems. Known for bridging deep theoretical insight with production-ready code, he combines academic leadership with hands-on algorithm and software development. His background includes a PhD from SISSA and honours degrees from Sapienza, reflecting long-standing excellence in both theory and computational practice.

Contributions summary:Giuseppe primarily focused on maintaining and improving the core functionality of the NetKet project. Their work included bug fixes, changes to the code headers, and improvements to the existing samplers. They also updated the example code snippets to align with changes in the project, and they also created new experimental code. This demonstrates a good understanding of the project structure and goals.
