In these colloquia, we bring together leading experts in lab automation and data-driven design to discuss how their approaches are advancing research workflows, enabling faster experimentation, and uncovering novel materials. The colloquia will cover advances in robotic and autonomous lab systems for high-throughput synthesis and characterization as well as the role of artificial intelligence and machine learning in accelerating materials design. This event aims to foster interdisciplinary discussion and collaboration among researchers interested in accelerating the pace of discovery in materials sciences.
