Farah Hariri

Dr. Farah Hariri leads several teams at NVIDIA spanning the climate, energy and financial services idustries. She manages a global team working on climate-related activities, namely the Earth-2 project. This team’s activities include building digital twins of the Earth for climate change mitigation and adaptation powered by AI weather and climate models. Farah also leads two European teams, one focusing on AI applications in the financial services industry (FSI) and one working on AI applications in the energy industry aiming at accelerating the energy transition. Farah has a broad technical background in theoretical and nuclear physics, climate and energy transition technologies, numerical modeling, and artificial intelligence. Before joining NVIDIA, she worked on climate and energy policy frameworks for the French president and the Geneva Centre for Security Policy. Farah also led various projects at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL), and the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA).
