For the 2025/26 academic year TILOS is co-hosting a new Optimization for Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence seminar series. This new series compliments the TILOS seminar series, which features speakers on the foundations of AI and optimization, as well as the use-domains of chip design, networks, and robotics. The full schedule for both series is available at tilos.ai/seminar-series.

In this interview with VettaFi Christensen discusses the “marriage” of artificial intelligence and physical automation, explaining why the market's fixation on sci-fi concepts has created a disconnect, leaving practical robotics companies poised for growth that is not yet priced in. The conversation also covers the engineering challenges and cross-sector advancements fueling the next wave of innovation.
