PhD#17 in the books and #1 University of Michigan. Congrats to Lance Kavalsky on successfully defending his PhD on electrochemical manufacturing - iron and ammonia production! Thanks to Suljo Linic Bryce Meredig Linda Hung (@ToyotaResearch) David Kwabi for input. Good luck UW-Madison CBE in Manos' group!

Aionics has been named to CB Insights AI 100 this year along with OpenAI, Anthropic, Databricks, and others. The #AI100 recognizes the 100 most promising private AI companies. Read more on our website: aionics.io/aionics-named-…

Great dinner with Zhigang Suo on his visit to University of Michigan and thanks to @DrJingTang for hosting him!

Excited to organize this conference dedicated to Scientific Foundations Model University of Michigan on April 2, 3! Workshops and Tutorials, incredible speaker covering wide range of topics, funding and venture ecosystem.

Great pleasure to host an end-of-the-year celebration with Michigan 🔋community and thanks to Michigan Engineering Battery Club (@JKPu11) for helping organize. Thanks to collaborators from General Motors Ford Motor Company Stellantis North America Our Next Energy (ONE) etc) who joined us. An amazing selfie by Anna!

Excited to launch Scientific Foundation Models initiative under MICDE together with Bharath Ramsundar. We got ALCF INCITE award to train foundation models for molecules for energy storage. Learn more at: scifm.ai news.umich.edu/building-a-che…

Congrats to Akshat Rathi on his book, Climate Capitalism! The book covers a set of solutions needed for achieving net-zero future, complex science and technology behind them - a monumental achievement given breadth of ideas - from physics, materials science, politics, economics.

Excited to attend #UPSummit2023 , organized by 1sigari Adam Grosser! Aionics, Inc. co-founder Austin Sendek will take the stage to unveil latest exciting developments. Look forward to discussing about our all-in bet on the 1k (1000 Wh/kg) system with electric aviation community.

We are continuing our SciML webinar series under MICDE, and thanks to ARPA-E DIFFERENTIATE program for supporting the series earlier. Exciting series lined up this semester with David Ruhe speaking today on Geometric Clifford Algebra Networks: micde.umich.edu/news-events/sc…

Congrats to JoeBen Bevirt Paul Sciarra and Joby Aviation team on their first production facility! A historic time for electric aviation! ✈️ No better time to work on high specific energy AND specific power batteries for electric aviation.

An eye-opening statistic I learnt first in Akshat Rathi Quartz piece. We (w Shashank Sripad) analyzed batteries for electric 2-wheelers in ACSEnergyLett pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… and joined TVS Motor Company as an advisor! Hugely important for net-zero future. thehindubusinessline.com/companies/tvs-…

PhD#16 and last at CMU Mechanical Engineering! Congrats to Varun on a remarkable thesis on Differentiable Fluid Dynamics! Thanks to Amir Barati Zico Kolter Prof. Anima Anandkumar for being on his committee and providing incredible feedback and insights.

PhD#15 in the books. Congrats to Alec Bills on an incredible journey unraveling modeling of batteries for electric aviation and space. Two great pieces in ACSEnergyLett and large dataset in Scientific Data pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Join us for PhD defense double bill tomorrow: Alec Bills on Battery Modeling for Enabling Electric Aircraft and Varun Shankar U.S. National Science Foundation GRFP on Differentiable Fluid Mechanics. cmu.edu/me/venkatgroup…

Congrats to Prof. Lee Cronin Chemify team on their latest round. Combining robotic experimentation & machine learning is going to transform materials discovery. Excited for Aionics, Inc. to partner with Chemify on custom-molecule design for electrolytes! twitter.com/venkvis/status…
