Autonomous MatSci companies are coming up thick and fast. Not too long ago, it felt likely a lonely academic world in this space. Happening too fast? Too late? Hard to tell…

One of the neatly thought out, executed, and written papers I have read in the recent past. It took me a while to understand the core concept of this paper. In the times where every notebook in BoTorch packages is a new paper (just stamp a new materials data), this is very refreshing.

I wish more faculty search committees followed DTU level clear communication. I applied for a AI4Materials position with a May 7th deadline and received an update (rejection) on June 1st with clear detail that they’ve made first round selection. No one in the US and India are even remotely close.

University of Washington campus is spoilt with these stunning views from a normal class/seminar room. This was from this afternoon at the undergraduate research symposium.

Love this quote: “I think it matters, having your own personal cheerleader. I think everyone deserves to know, Here is someone who believes in me. Here’s someone who believes I can do great things, and who will never, ever quit rooting for me”

70% through this book and could relate to so much: immigrant scientist in the US, spouse stuck abroad on visa issues, lack of opportunities at every step of the way… and out of no where I see a mention on Buffalo,NY and University of Washington on the same page. Feels like a cinematic universe.
