I build things that help us do science.

I’ll be at #S26MRS this week to talk about the work we’ve been doing on industrially-relevant materials discovery at @DuniaInnovation !

Reach out if you want to grab a coffee and talk about autonomous labs, agentic workflows, the sim2real gap, or job opportunities.

Our presentation is on Thursday in session MT01.08.07

@BenBlaiszik Haha didn’t mean it like that, but good to hear :)

[Rishi E Kumar @rekumar_]

We’re hiring — reach out. Main reason I work at Dunia is our thesis — work backwards from the mess of deploying materials in industry to find where AI/automation fits, then push hard. We’ve been building for 3 years already. We must make the jump from the screen to the world.

If you’re looking for a mission that can change the world, join us.
Catalysts are just the beginning.
Semiconductors, batteries, composites, clean, abundant energy is the goal.
We are entering the Dunia Age.

@MaximZiatdinov Same. Cursor chat with full indexing of my project + dependency docs and repos is too good. Definitely not perfect though

For those interested, here is the paper and the GitHub repo. Happy building!

I built a robotic lab in grad school. Last week it made its 10,000th sample. Here's some stats from three years of operation.

[Rishi E Kumar @rekumar_]

The true metric for success here is not number of samples, but accelerated cycles of learning — a truly lagging indicator. Keep an eye on the Fenning lab at UCSD to see the fruits of PASCAL’s labor in the pipeline.

@SterlingBaird1 Automated capping is such an annoyingly hard problem. I often imagine a mini version that fits in a standard liquid handler deck slot.

[Shijing Sun @SunShijing]

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

@darren_lipomi On the plus side, there’s almost no way to use Jet for SEM data.

@MaximZiatdinov Hopefully the all-knowing ChatGPT can convince stakeholders of this :p

@ramav_matsci Some local places around the Bay Area do a good job... as expected haha.

https://t.co/Vh5sAIoE8L is the best off-the-shelf chai I've tried. Pricey though, so usually we mix our own. Looks like they have a cafe in NYC
