Technical Seminar with Adam Drobot

Abstract: I will first describe the personal journeys we make, and how life experiences and background, formal education, career choices and training in Physics influence them. Then I will take an in-depth look at a current issue: the power and energy needs of the worldwide AI Data Center Infrastructure. It's all a matter of Economics, Sociology, and Physics.
