Learning probability without being able to create computer models is like learning chemistry without being able to do experiments,” says Min. • Initially, I was interested in architecture and physics, as I enjoyed building things and thought it was so beautiful how a few simple physical laws could explain so much of the world.

For a standard entry into materials science, the researchers recommend taking A-Levels or equivalents in physics, chemistry and maths, as well as biology if possible. “As When I was young, I was very interested in chemistry. PATHWAY FROM SCHOOL TO MATERIALS SCIENTIST.

I started studying architecture, but after two weeks, I realised I didn’t want to study buildings. I started studying chemistry because it seemed like something I would be able to get a job in. I soon realised I was more interested in biology because you can see the systems you are working with, so I switched degrees.

While the science aspect (chemistry, biology, and physics) and mathematics (calculus and algebra) is a breeze to figure out, the engineering and technology aspects are less straightforward. The skills coupled with critical thinking are taught in these subjects.

Perhaps even the architecture of the network can change. Probably it’s because neural nets capture the architectural essence of actual brains. But one can’t have a truly “model-less model”. Perhaps the AI is based on a huge neural network, with billions of numerical parameters that can get tweaked. Let’s look at a very simple case.

I liked all kinds of science when I was at school – biology, chemistry, physics. I was used to solving maths, physics, and chemistry problems, but they were invariably problems that someone had set and, therefore, knew the answer to. I was also interested in sports and enjoyed both watching and playing lots of different sports.

A paper I wrote in September 1983 talks about the idea that in a sufficiently large class 4 cellular automaton one would eventually get self-reproducing structures, which would end up “taking over everything”: The idea that one might be able to see “biology-like” self-reproduction in cellular automata has a long history.

In 2015 Ed told me a nice story about his time at Caltech: In 1952–53, I was a student in Linus Pauling’s class where he lectured Freshman Chemistry at Caltech. Part of the motivation came from watching Joyce struggle with a Harvard course on Chemistry, where a lot of the homework involved units conversions.

When elements are mixed in the right way, some remarkable chemistry can create a product that is completely different to any of the ingredients. I then turned my head to architecture, then engineering, then chemistry, until eventually, I came across materials science. I was gutted when I heard the role no longer existed!
