SUMMARY:CBE Seminar Series: Nick Sahinidis
DESCRIPTION:Nick SahinidisProfessorDepartment of Industrial & Systems Engineering and Chemical & Biomolecular EngineeringGeorgia Institute of Technology \n\n\n\nData-driven Optimization for Materials Discovery: Benchmarks and Case Studies\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSelf-driving laboratories can compress years of materials discovery into weeks. Instead of relying on trial-and-error\, they use algorithms to learn from each experiment and decide what to try next. When experiments are expensive and budgets are limited\, choosing the next experiment well can have a large impact on the quality of the material ultimately discovered. \n\n\n\nI will present results from a recent benchmark of 46 data-driven optimization solvers on 502 problems\, ranging from one to 300 dimensions and spanning a wide variety of mathematical behavior. Our new branch-and-model (BAM) algorithm achieves the highest overall success rate\, outperforming several Bayesian optimizers as well as stochastic and deterministic derivative-free optimization solvers.  \n\n\n\nI will then show how branch-without-bound algorithms work in practice. In one example\, an algorithm guided experiments on perovskite solar cells\, jointly optimizing six processing parameters across three layers of the cell. I will also share results from optimizing digital twins and simulators developed by the self-driving-labs community.  \n\n\n\nFinally\, I will discuss opportunities in batteries\, semiconductors\, catalysts\, polymeric membranes\, and biomolecules\, and how deterministic methods such as BAM can help scientists discover better materials faster.
