Meet Leïla Haegel, who is equal parts researcher and entrepreneur. Are you curious, how she combines her research about black holes with her ideas how to combine learning and AI? Leïla is a physicist and her research focuses on signals from gravitational radiation that are emitted by black holes. It is a rather new and very exciting field. During her PhD thesis she first got in touch with machine learning. And she recognised the huge potential of these tools.

On top of her academic work, she is part of the startup MAGMA Learning. Together with her Co-Founder she is investigating how AI technology can be used to make the process of learning more dynamical. Further, she talks about the importance to make the current AI tools fairer and more diverse.

Last but not least you will hear the best advice she got so far in her life. Let me tell you, it is an advice Leïla readily applied to her work life.
