Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) is now a part of the standard physical scientist's tool kit, and it is regularly used to discover exciting new materials and processes. But A.I.'s are famously fickle, susceptible to data set bias and imbalance, subject to information leakage during training, and reliant on its human to evaluate its performance. Join us […]

High-rise residential buildings are the fastest-growing form of housing in urban regions globally. These buildings already contribute significantly to carbon emissions globally, and they face serious performance challenges with our dramatically changing climate. From transmission of airborne containments to uneven ventilation and summertime overheating, various performance issues continue to plague this building type. Join us […]
