Youssef Nader
Let’s step into the fire-forged library of Herculaneum with 2023 Vesuvius Grand Prize winners and TEDAI24 Speakers Youssef Nader and Julian Schilliger. In this exclusive, hands-on TEDAI Vienna workshop, we’ll trace every step of that audacious quest: manipulate the high-resolution CT volumes, train an ink-detection network on carbon shadows, and race fellow participants to surface new letters no human has seen since 79 AD. Whether you’re an AI enthusiast, a classicist, or simply a roman empire ponderer, join us and let the scrolls speak through your keystrokes—because some libraries burn, but their voices don’t have to stay silent. Laptops are required for this session, but no technical or coding experience is needed.
Youssef Nader is the Co-Founder and Chief Science Officer of Majaz, best known for being the machine-learning lead who turned volcanic ash into a $700 k breakthrough by recovering Greek text from a 2000 year old carbonized scroll. Youssef holds a Masters in data science from the Freie University in Berlin and a Bachelors of communication and computer engineering from Cairo University in Egypt. He is a TEDAI24 Speaker.
