Gómez-Bombarelli Advances AI-Driven Materials Discovery At MIT
MIT Associate Professor Rafael Gómez-Bombarelli, newly tenured in materials science and engineering, says AI is poised to transform scientific discovery by combining language models and multimodal modeling. His primarily computational lab of about 25 graduate students and postdocs uses physics-based simulations, machine learning, and generative models to discover materials for batteries, catalysts, plastics and OLEDs, and he co-founded Lila Sciences to commercialize scientific AI.
