Excited for #S22MRS, will be sharing our successes (and failures) in closed-loop robotic optimization of process/composition for halide perovskites (Tuesday DS01.05.03). Stop by and say hi! youtu.be/dKTjTsvgrgU

The long awaited Future of Energy Storage from MIT Energy Initiative is out! Over the last 3 years, experts in the field have thoughtfully put this one together to outline how we can reach our climate goals. energy.mit.edu/research/futur…. It’s the 9th “Future of” study from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

PhDone! Had an amazing five years with great labmates+collaborators turned friends. Looking forward to my next chapter in Berkeley. Was also great to finally introduce my parents to their grand-robot 👶🏽🤖

Human-AI partnership is the way forward

When groups meet to brainstorm, good ideas are lost. People bite their tongues due to conformity pressure, noise, and ego threat. A better approach is brainwriting: generate ideas separately, then meet to assess and refine. Group wisdom begins with individual creativity.

Data-driven materials folks — how are you storing all your data? Especially in the context of automated experiments. Files and folders? Bespoke relational databases? Anyone using GEMD from Citrine? Would love to discuss pain points!

McMaster-Carr, the gold standard of web design. They didn't have anyone to look up to, there is nothing like it. They didn't use a design framework. They focused on fundamentals of design, not fads and fashion. mcmaster.com They didn't have to do it, but they did.

We're hiring! We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher in energy materials and lab automation. Join us at the beautiful #Seattle!
