🔬Searching the Space of All Possible Materials — Prof. Max Welling, CuspAI
Max Welling, renowned theoretical physicist and ML researcher building CuspAI to speed materials discovery for climate solutions. He sketches nature as a kind of computer and the idea of a “physics processing unit.” Topics include symmetry and equivariant networks, diffusion models tied to thermodynamics, why materials may limit the energy transition, and how AI and lab experiments can form an automated discovery loop.
