Can be heard lecturing @MIT in an Irish accent. Enjoys climbing and Guinness but rarely at the same time.

I couldn’t be happier for my friend and colleague @baselinescene , who won the #NobelPrize today. Incredible recognition for his work.
10 yrs ago he brought me into the Global Economics and Management faculty group at #MIT . We have published and taught together since, including, I’m proud to say, cofounding a course on #AI that was the 1st of its kind (on offer to MIT students again in Spring). The picture below is from the first time we taught that class together.
Simon has mentored and supported me throughout. Every time he crosses the corridor to my office to discuss his latest thinking, I know I’m going to learn something.
Also delighted for @DAcemogluMIT a Nobel co-recipient today - an incredible MIT colleague and a giant in the field.
Can you believe I get paid to work with people like this!
@MITSloan
Hope you are happy Peter Shor, look what you made @NIST do :) A big day for Post-Quantum Cryptography and the start of an enormous migration effort across the world. Congrats to all involved over the last 8+ years

Really enjoyable evening. Thanks to @QuSysTCD for the invitation to give #quantum lecture in the historic @TCD_physics theatre (host to the Schrödinger Lecture Series & more).
Great lecture this evening by Prof Johnathan Ruane @jonruane from @MIT on #QuantumComputing hype
Key msg: much more development required but important that we use the technology we have to drive forward innovation.
Thanks @QuSysTCD @TrinityQuantum @tcddublin for organising.

Is the #quantum hype our friend or foe? Hosted by @TrinityQuantum , join @jonruane @MIT to discuss this and more in @TCD_physics next Wed Nov 15th. Register at eventbrite.ie/e/quantum-hype…

Say hello! 👋
Moungi Bawendi got an early morning call from Stockholm breaking the news that he is one of the 2023 chemistry laureates.
How is he celebrating this morning? Teaching his @MIT class at 9.
We'll be sharing his first reaction very soon.

We heard from @PeterShor1 @oliver_mit & @Vinod_MIT at today’s Quantum Implications for Security seminar @MIT
You would do well to find three more informed perspectives across quantum algorithms, hardware and cryptography.
Take away: scaled up, reliable quantum computers remain some years away, but the digital security implications need to be tackled much sooner.
I learned: if lattice based approaches become ineffective we have few/no alternatives. That keeps cryptographers awake at night !!

It has been 70 years since the first Everest summit 🌄
We'll be talking about the mountain's history with @jonruane, who climbed Everest last year and explorer @patfalvey 🧭
Join us on @TheHardShoulder now 👇
My friends (and colleagues) @baselinescene and @DAcemogluMIT have published an amazing new book looking at the impact of technology and who decides on the share of benefits.
#PowerAndProgress available to buy now. – at Cambridge, MA
Hello Twitter 👋
This is my new account, launched to coincide with mine and @baselinescene's new book #PowerAndProgress.
This is the beginning of an intellectual journey and I look forward to connecting with many of you on the broader issues at play.
My Makalu expedition is over. No opportunity for summit push given timing of work commitments butcoming home healthy and happy.
Makalu remains the highest mountain unclimbed by an Irish person. I wish whoever makes the next attempt all the luck in the world. ☘️ – at Nepal
Noel Hanna - Ireland’s greatest and most gracious mountaineer passed away on Annapurna today. He generously gave of his time to help me and many, many others climbers. Sympathies to his wife, family and friends. RIP. – at Nepal
#MIT iQuHACK 2023 Keynote Panel discussion on #QuantumComputing. Fascinating insights from leaders in the field. Also, my opinions.

Congrats to all @GoogleQuantumAI.
We're excited to announce a breakthrough in our journey towards a useful quantum computer.
Our latest publication in Nature is the first demonstration of a logical qubit protoype, showing it's possible to reduce errors by increasing the # of qubits. goo.gle/3kl5JDU
Wow. Irish/Belgian climber Sean Villanueva O’Driscoll wins his second Piolet d'Or (the climbing equivalent of Ballon d'Or or an Oscar) for his incredible solo Moonwalk Traverse of the Fitz Roy Range in Patagonia
