Authors

Patrick Bangert Vice President of Artificial Intelligence at Samsung SDSA, San Jose, CA, United States, and Founder and Board Chair of Algorithmica Technologies GmbH, Bad Nauheim, Germany. Dr. Patrick Bangert is the Vice President of Artificial Intelligence at Samsung SDS where he leads both the AI software development and AI consulting groups that each provide various offerings to the industry. He is the founder and Board Chair of Algorithmica Technologies, providing real-time process modeling, optimization, and predictive maintenance solutions to the process industry with a focus on chemistry and power generation. His doctorate from UCL specialized in applied mathematics, and his academic positions at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Los Alamos National Laboratory made use of optimization and machine learning for magnetohydrodynamics and particle accelerator experiments. He has published extensively across optimization and machine learning and their relevant applications in the real world.
