He is member of the Institut Universitaire de France, honorary professor of the Beijing Normal University, Honoris Causa Laureate of the Universidad de San Martin, Buenos Aires, member of the Académie Internationale de Philosophie des Sciences. He is currently affiliated to the University of Aix-Marseille in France, the philosophy department of the Western Ontario University, the Perimeter Institute in Canada and the Santa Fe Institute of complexity in New Mexico. Rovelli has been awarded the 1996 Xanthopoulos Award for “the best relativist under forty”. During the last decade, he has written global best sellers translated in more than fifty languages. Among these, are “Seven Brief Lessons on Physics’, ‘The Order of Time’, and “Helgoland”, on quantum theory.

Jakob Uszkoreit co-founded Inceptive in 2021 with the goal of enabling a new generation of medicines, reminiscent of software but running on our cells. Inceptive aims to accomplish this by learning life's languages with a unique combination of cutting-edge deep learning and novel, scalable biochemistry experiments. Before Inceptive, Jakob conducted research, including co-authoring the research paper titled "Attention Is All You Need". Widely hailed as a foundational document in modern artificial intelligence, this paper marked a pivotal moment as transformers evolved into the predominant architecture powering large language models. He also conducted research on neural networks at Google Brain, built the language understanding team of the Google Assistant as well as of many Search features, and worked on Google Translate during its early days.
