Presented by Dr. Christopher S. Simmons of Cambridge Computer.
This one-day event features Dr. Christopher S. Simmons leading comprehensive sessions that equip academic researchers with a complete framework for implementing reproducible AI and scientific workflows.
The sessions begin with declarative software management, followed by data versioning through GitOps and DataOps methodologies, and culminate with an introduction to practical open-source LLM deployment strategies. By emphasizing sustainable approaches to AI workflows and combining cloud-native infrastructure principles with privacy-preserving deployment strategies, these seminars empower researchers and educators to accelerate discovery while maintaining scientific rigor and keeping sensitive data secure on institutional hardware rather than relying on external commercial services.
