CCMI Seminar – Boris Bonev (NVIDIA Zurich, École Polytechnique Paris)

A research seminar in the CCMI series, open to everyone and free to attend, with entry on a first come first served basis. The speaker is Boris Bonev, a Senior Research Scientist at NVIDIA and incoming Professor at École Polytechnique who pioneered Spherical Neural Operators and the FourCastNet family of AI weather models. His talk, 'Geometric Neural Operators for Machine Learning Probabilistic Weather Prediction', presents neural operators that respect the geometry of the Earth's sphere and shows how they power FourCastNet 3, a probabilistic forecasting system that matches leading ensemble systems while producing forecasts 8–60× faster.
