Biography
Kedar Hippalgaonkar is an associate professor at the Materials Science and Engineering Department at NTU in Singapore. He was the Scientific Director of the Multi-PI S$25M Accelerated Materials Development for Manufacturing (AMDM) program from 2018 – 2024, and is currently the lead PI and Scientific Director of S$10M Materials Generative Design and Testing Framework program (Mat-GDT) from 2024-2027, as well as the AI xploration of Catalyst Inorganic Surfaces (AxCIS Lab) in collaboration with UC Berkeley and LBNL. Leading a group of >30 members, his team uses AI, computations and rapid data-driven experiments for accelerated materials discovery and advancing fundamental knowledge in inequilibrium charge and phonon scattering. His scientific contributions in the materials-by-design space have established a framework for the accelerated discovery of materials and new physics.
