SUMMARY:Electronic Polymer Innovations Through AI-guided Robotic Laborator
 ies
LOCATION:Discovery Park Building B155\, 3940 N Elm St.\, Denton\, TX 76207
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Jie Xu\, Assistant Professor in the Pritzker School of Mol
 ecular Engineering at the University of Chicago will present a seminar ti
 tled "Electronic Polymer Innovations Through AI-guided Robotic Laboratori
 es" to the interested faculty and students at Discovery Park.\n\nAbstract
 \n\nAutonomous laboratories that integrate high-throughput synthesis\, pr
 ocessing\, and characterization with data-driven modeling offer a powerfu
 l pathway to accelerate materials discovery and uncover complex structure
 –processing–property relationships. We are developing Polybot\, an AI-gui
 ded robotic laboratory designed to address the inherent complexity of pol
 ymer systems\, in which subtle variations in composition and processing c
 an produce substantial changes in morphology and performance. This talk w
 ill highlight Polybot-enabled advances in the autonomous discovery of ele
 ctronic polymers\, including the inverse design of copolymer optical prop
 erties\, automated solution processing to control solid-state morphology 
 and electronic performance\, and the data-driven identification of morpho
 logical design principles for optimizing mixed ionic–electronic transport
 . Building on these capabilities\, I will introduce PoLARIS\, a distribut
 ed cloud laboratory that will connect synthesis\, processing\, characteri
 zation\, and AI-guided decision-making across multiple facilities and mak
 e advanced autonomous experimentation accessible to a broader research co
 mmunity.\n\nBio\n\nProf. Jie Xu is an Assistant Professor at the Pritzke\
