    Title: Automating Computational Materials Design with Explainable AI Abstract: High-throughput density functional theory (DFT) calculations have the capability to quickly screen thousands of materials to identify the top candidates for myriad of energy and sustainability applications. However, despite its impressive efficiency relative to experiments, computational screening is still incapable of exploring the entirety of materials […]

  • DMI/MEMS Seminar Presented by Prof. Khalid Salaita

    Fitzpatrick Center Schiciano Auditorium Side A, room 1464

    Abstract: Cells are highly dynamic structures that are constantly converting chemical energy into mechanical work to pull and push on one another and on their surroundings. These pulls and pushes are mediated by tiny molecular forces at the scale of piconewtons. For context, 7 pN applied a distance of 1 nm is ~1 kcal/mol. Nonetheless, […]
