Key Responsibilities
- Design the agentic framework for autonomous materials discovery spanning simulation workflows from hypothesis generation to validation
- Build integration connecting agents to ML models, simulation engines, databases, and heterogeneous compute backends
- Design pipelines for agents to autonomously plan, schedule, execute, and interpret computational tasks at scale
- Use expert annotations to drive improvements in agent planning, retrieval, and decision-making
- Create evaluations to measure agent effectiveness
- Build agents that perform experimental design using Bayesian optimization, active learning, or sequential decision-making
- Help close the loop between simulation and physical experiments to compound knowledge across campaigns
- Develop strategies for multi-fidelity and multi-objective decision-making balancing cost, time, and uncertainty
- Work closely with Chemists, Materials Scientists, and the Agent team to co-develop orchestration intelligence
- Work on customer projects and implement direct needs
