Elie Alhajjar https://sites.google.com/site/eliealhajjar/home is Senior Scientist, Engineering and Applied Sciences, RAND Corporation, Arlington, VA
Victor Lu https://www.linkedin.com/in/luvictor worked at Fermilab and is now an independent consultant
Sutanay Choudhury https://www.linkedin.com/in/sutanay Chief Scientist Data Sciences @ PNNL | Generative AI, Precision Medicine, Computational Chemistry, Knowledge Graphs | Co-Director CTCI (Computational and Theoretical Chemistry Institute). Works on AI Chemistry with molecular graph networks and use of GPUs for graphs.. Different scope from Open catalyst. Will extend PyTorch Geometric. Graphs for chemistry are 10^6 to 10^8 of small graphs and not one giant graph as in Social Networks. Sutanay can talk about work with UK (Juri) on power and Scaling from August 2022.

General Discussion

Yuhan Douglas Rao noted AstroCLIP https://arxiv.org/abs/2310.03024 and Harmonized Landsat and Sentinel-2 (HLS) data - https://www.earthdata.nasa.gov/esds/harmonized-landsat-sentinel-2
We discussed reconciling images of different resolution for Fioundation pretraining
Yuhan gave Geoffrey a student contact for HLS Crop Classification.
Gregor noted that we werei still working on system issues for Osmi
Murali noted upcoming TPC meetings in Sydney and then Barcelona
