AI & The Future of Work Summit
Featured
Willard Straight Hall, Memorial Room (407)
Cornell's AI & The Future of Work Summit will take place Thursday, September 17, 2026, from 9:00am – 11:45am in the Memorial Room of Willard Straight Hall. Hosted by the Cornell AI Initiative and University Career Development, the summit brings together employer partners, faculty, and campus AI leaders for a morning of dialogue on hiring and the world of work — and how Cornell is preparing students to thrive in an AI-ready workforce. With 170+ employers already on campus for Cornell Career Fair Days, it's a timely opportunity for faculty to hear directly from industry and to share how Cornell […]
Chemistry-Accelerated Machine-Enabled Learning (CAMEL): From Theoretical Understanding and Design to Experimental Interpretation and Discovery
Machine learning is transforming materials discovery, but its greatest impact may come not from applying general-purpose AI to materials data, but from constructing learning methods that embody chemical and materials-physics knowledge. I will illustrate this through interpretable representations; differentiable design using Effective Atom Theory (EAT), differentiable Equiformer fast EAT (DEFEAT), and hereditary EAT (HEAT); Bayesian interpretation of experiments; and closed theory–experiment loops. Demonstrated applications span superconductors, photovoltaics, clean-energy catalysts, ptychography, and superconducting qubits.
