There’s still time to register for our first AC seminar of 2025 tomorrow, January 16 at 3:00 PM EST with Kedar Hippalgaonkar to explore AI, symmetry and disorder in designing novel inorganic materials.
About the seminar
Symmetry, disorder, generative design and experimental synthesis of ‘novel’ inorganic materials
Join Kedar Hippalgaonkar for a talk on generative design in novel inorganic materials and how symmetry and disorder intercept the discovery process. Learn how symmetry rules shape crystal structures and properties like conductivity and strength, and how innovative AI models address challenges in generating symmetric crystals and managing disorder. Discover advancements in high-throughput synthesis and the integration of data-driven computation, modeling, and experiments to achieve property-directed design.
About the speaker
Associate Professor Kedar Hippalgaonkar’s research interests are in AI-driven solid-state materials-by-design. He holds a joint appointment as an associate professor with the Materials Science and Engineering Department at NTU, and as a Principal Scientist at IMRE, A*STAR. Leading a group of >30 members, he has demonstrated clear areas of advancement in the discovery of new functional materials, AI and robotics for accelerated materials discovery, and advancing fundamental knowledge in inequilibrium charge and phonon scattering. His commitment to translating scientific research into tangible real-world applications is exemplified by his role as the Co-founder and Senior Scientific Advisor of a startup – Xinterra, Inc.
Upcoming events
