Past Fortnightly
Introducing Aionics’ New Centaur Computing Approach, with CEO Dr. Austin Sendek
How do battery companies stay innovative in the Data Age, where computing is increasingly powerful and accessible, and machine learning provides superhuman predictive power? The latest R&D workflow from Aionics combines both quantum mechanical simulation with machine learning-driven decision making, resulting in a (semi)autonomous innovation machine dubbed Centaur Computing.
Aionics CEO Dr. Austin Sendek unveiled the Centaur approach to materials design for the first time from the stage of the International Battery Seminar and Exhibit in Orlando last week, and will discuss the approach again in Aionics Fortnightly Episode 26. In addition to explaining how Aionics blends physical experimentation, quantum mechanical simulation, and artificial intelligence to accelerate R&D, Dr. Sendek will also discuss Aionics’ partnership with Sepion Technologies, putting the Centaur to work for AI-guided electrolyte design.
