I’m Jose Luis Silva, AI Physicist, Ph.D., and Entrepreneur. I am passionate about Artificial Intelligence, Data-Driven Decision-Making, Modeling & Simulation. I hold a Ph.D. in Physics from Uppsala University, where I have worked with the Design of Materials for Energy Applications. During my Ph.D., I have published articles in high-profile Journals such as Advanced Materials (IF: 30.849), Small (IF: 13.281 ), The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters (IF: 6.213), and JPCC (IF: 4.536). Currently, I am a Postdoctoral Researcher in Artificial Intelligence at Linköping University, Sweden, and Member of the Advisory Board at the Junior Faculty Steering Committee (LiU). I have also Founded Aicavity (E-learning Platform), and Oxaala Technologies, an AI software company focused on consulting with Offices in Brazil and Sweden. Additionally, I am Head Manager at Stockholm AI, a non-profit organization with AI enthusiasts, professionals, and researchers aiming to establish Stockholm as a global player in AI. I’m also a reviewer for the Journal Vacuum IF: 3.67 (Elsevier) covering Materials Science & Machine Learning.

Today we celebrated the National Day of the Kingdom of Cambodia at Expo 2020 Dubai!
We were honoured to host His Excellency Pan Sorasak, Minister of Commerce and Commissioner General of Kingdom of Cambodia, who was accompanied by His Excellency Dr. Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi,
Though it won't feel that way at first, each and every problem you encounter is an opportunity; for that reason, it is essential that you bring them to the surface. #principleoftheday
