Advancing physics knowledge and galvanizing AI research innovation.
About us
The NSF AI Institute for Artificial Intelligence and Fundamental Interactions (IAIFI, pronounced /aɪ-faɪ/) is one of the inaugural NSF AI research institutes. The IAIFI is enabling physics discoveries and advancing foundational AI through the development of novel AI approaches that incorporate first principles from fundamental physics. AI is transforming many aspects of society, including the ways that scientists are pursuing groundbreaking discoveries. For many years, physicists have been at the forefront of applying AI methods to investigate fundamental questions about the Universe. Further progress will require a revolutionary leap in AI, as both the complexity of physics problems and the size of physics datasets continue to grow. The goal of the IAIFI is to develop and deploy the next generation of AI technologies, based on the transformative idea that artificial intelligence can directly incorporate physics intelligence. IAIFI researchers are using these new AI technologies to tackle some of the most challenging problems in physics, from precision calculations of the structure of matter, to gravitational wave detection of merging black holes, to the extraction of new physical laws from noisy data. IAIFI researchers are also working to transfer these technologies to the broader AI community, since trustworthy AI is as important for physics discovery as it is for other applications of AI in society. To cultivate human intelligence, the IAIFI promotes training, education, and outreach at the intersection of physics and AI. In this way, the IAIFI is advancing physics knowledge – from the smallest building blocks of nature to the largest structures in the Universe – and galvanizing AI research innovation.

MIT Summer Research Program, General gave me the trajectory I never knew I needed! Pursuing research as an undergrad is always a challenging choice, and, if you come from a non-R1 university, it’s even difficult. But, thanks to programs like MSRP that students like me get the opportunity to learn and immerse within the mainstream of science. Here are a few pictures of what I’ve been upto since graduating from MSRP 2026 last month. 1) Attending and Presenting at the NSF SkAI for Open SkAI 2026, Chicago. 2) Attended and Presented at the NSF IAIFI workshop 2026, MIT. As always my special thanks goes to Isabella Macias and the entire Planet Formation Lab at MIT EAPS. I am also grateful to NSF AI Institute for Artificial Intelligence and Fundamental Interactions (IAIFI) NSF CI Compass and NSF-Simons AI Institute for the Sky (SkAI) for granting me these amazing opportunities! Looking forward to an exciting fall semester ahead!
