Summary
Vinicius Mikuni is an Associate Professor and machine learning researcher specializing in applying deep learning to natural sciences, based in Nagoya with eight years of experience. His work focuses on generative models that replace expensive simulators, anomaly detection for new physics, collider-optimized network architectures, and likelihood-free inference. He combines a PhD in Elementary Particle Physics from the University of Zurich with hands-on postdoctoral research at Berkeley Lab, bridging theoretical physics and practical ML. Known for translating physics-driven constraints into novel architectures, he emphasizes scalable approaches that accelerate scientific discovery. Vinicius is passionate about data science and the interplay between natural sciences and deep learning, often targeting problems where computational cost and interpretability matter most.
