Fwd: Seminar Announcement: Self-Driving Labs Seminar

Hi Everyone, Thanks for attending the All-Hands meeting today and providing your input on multiple topics. I'll also take this opportunity to urge you to attend the interesting seminars below. All the Best Salman -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Seminar Announcement: Self-Driving Labs Seminar Date: Mon, 8 Feb 2021 21:17:14 +0000 From: Mulligan, Silvia P. <smulligan(a)anl.gov><mailto:[email protected]> To: CELS Seminars <seminars(a)cels.anl.gov><mailto:[email protected]>, CPA Seminars <seminars(a)anl.gov><mailto:[email protected]> Self-Driving Labs Seminar Date: Monday, February 15, 2021 Time: 3:00-4:00 p.m. Seminar Agenda/Speakers: 3:00pm – Rick Stevens – SDL Overview 3:10pm – Tom Brettin – Bio 3:20pm – Ilke Arslan – PSE 3:30pm – Mike Ford – EGS 3:40pm – Ian Foster – Software, Data, and the APS 3:50pm – Rick Stevens – Wrap-up Self-Driving Labs Description There is an opportunity to bring together the power of large-scale robotic laboratories with high-performance computing and artificial intelligence. To lead in this novel area, Argonne is developing an emerging thrust in AI-driven Large-scale Automated Scientific Experimental Laboratories (Self-driving Labs) aimed at accelerating discovery in materials, chemistry, biochemistry, biology and energy. We are moving forward on pilot projects in Self-driving Labs to demonstrate the end-to-end concept with the goal of creating momentum on the concept of AL-based experimental loops that use robotic platforms to carry out high-throughput experiments under the control of a machine learning-based optimization and lead generation system. Organizing our efforts at Argonne will rapidly demonstrate capabilities and build crosscutting teams that have experience to drive a broader research agenda in this space. This year, we envision working on a specific set of driver problems, roughly two or three per domain, where a domain is biology, chemistry, materials, polymers, etc. The idea of having two or more per domain is to, from the very beginning, build generalization into the capabilities. The core demonstrations should not be overly optimized for a specific problem, but instead be designed as a general capability that can be easily retargeted to new problems, with addition of new instruments or reagents or with reprogramming, but without the need to build a whole new infrastructure and a whole new software stack for each problem. As such, Rick Stevens, Tom Brettin, Ilke Arslan, Mike Ford, and Ian Foster will be delivering a lab-wide Self-driving Labs Seminar on Monday, February 15, 2021 for all interested in participating in this work. The Seminar will give an overview of the Self-driving Lab concept, as well as lay out specific next steps. An upcoming Self-driving Labs Hackathon is scheduled for February 23-25, 2021. All interested are welcome to attend.

EERE High Performance Computing Program---Instructions
by Lagerwall, Tamra L. 03 Feb '21

03 Feb '21

Good Evening All- Below is information on DOE’s EERE Robotics Internship Program. The EERE HPC4Mfg Internship Program is looking for students and recent graduates interested in performing research-level computational activities under the guidance of a mentor who is a technical staff scientist or engineer at a federal national laboratory. Duration: 10-12 weeks Cost: FREE Action: The following information is requested by 9:00 a.m. Monday, February 15th . The review and selection process instructions are attached for your convenience. If any staff member is interested, please send the following information below directly to Tamra Lagerwall at tlager(a)anl.gov<mailto:[email protected]>: * Mentor Name * Mentor Email * Division * Project Description: * Information about this project will be made available in Zintellect. Enter a description of the project(s) and activities in which a participant may be involved. Project assignments should provide the participant with opportunities to receive hands-on experience that complements their educational and professional background and helps the participant gain knowledge in areas related robotics. As an educational opportunity, terminology such as participate, collect and analyze, research and collaborate are encouraged. * Academic Discipline(s) Choose the academic discipline(s) that is closely related to the project. These include Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics & Statistics, Nanotechnology, Other Physical Sciences, or Physics. About the EERE Robotics Internship Program: The Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) Advanced Manufacturing Office (AMO) is once again sponsoring internship opportunities for summer 2021. These internships are available for undergraduate and graduate students and recent graduates interested in pursuing degrees and careers in robotics-related science, technology, engineering and mathematics disciplines. The interns will receive a stipend. These positions are funded by EERE and are no cost to Argonne. * By hosting a student, mentors will have the opportunity to introduce students to their research mission and attract a pool of qualified candidates for future employment/collaboration opportunities. * Project information will be made public to applicants via a searchable Project Catalog accessible from Zintellect application. You may submit more than one project. Note that not all projects are guaranteed to be filled. I will submit all requests on behalf of Argonne. * In response to the feedback received from last year, AMO has provided the attached guidance on what makes an acceptable project for this program. Any other further questions you might have, please let me know. Thank you, Tamra Lagerwall CELS Student Program Coordinator tlager(a)anl.gov<mailto:[email protected]> -- Computing mailing list Computing(a)anl.gov https://lists.cels.anl.gov/mailman/listinfo/computing
