Scientific machine learning offers a promising solution by integrating data-driven algorithms with digital models rooted in physical principles. This powerful combination fosters a meaningful synergy between artificial intelligence and human expertise, grounded in natural laws and rigorous scientific frameworks. In this presentation, I will illustrate these concepts through a practical application: the development of a mathematical simulator that accurately replicates cardiac function.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio:\u003C\/strong\u003E \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Alfio_Quarteroni\u0022 title=\u0022https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Alfio_Quarteroni\u0022\u003Ehttps:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Alfio_Quarteroni\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EProf. Alfio Quarteroni is Professor Emeritus at the Politecnico of Milan (Italy), and Professor Emeritus at the EPFL (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology).
