In this edition, Prof. Sergei Kalinin, Professor of Materials Science and Engineering, at the University of Tennessee, USA, speaks about his highly relevant work using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning models (ML) in the automation of scanning probe microscopy (SPM) for the development of advanced materials.
He sheds light on his work using microscopic techniques, such as AFM, STM, piezo response microscopy, multimodal imaging, and electrochemical strain microscopy, to study electrochemical phenomena in advanced materials, and goes into the development of automated ML models, optimized workflow design, and implementing autonomous experiments.
