The project will be developed within the framework of the AI4Science Fellowships (AI4S), a talent attraction and retention program aimed at the convergence of HPC and AI. The programme aims to consolidate research lines on the intersection of AI for dual-use computational modelling, data analysis, data management and decision-making discoveries, leveraging computational capabilities and AI models and data. Considering the projects we are involved in, we have the possibility to match our project needs and candidate interests when deciding on the tasks to be carried out.
