How to work with us

What kinds of projects does Citrine’s External Research Department (ERD) work on?

The ideal ERD research project is non-proprietary and publishable, and addresses one or more of these themes:

• Applications

  • Machine learning-guided materials and process design, with a feedback loop that involves experiments and/or simulations
  • Modeling materials phenomena across length and timescales, from atomistic to macroscopic
  • Machine learning-augmented materials characterization

• Method Development

  • Materials informatics algorithm and method development
  • Integrating machine learning and physics-based simulations

• Software

  • Automation of simulations and laboratory experiments
  • Materials data infrastructure deployment and utilization
  • Open-source software development

• Data

  • Materials property database development and publication

How does ERD collaborate with researchers at other institutions?

• We first work to establish an external funding source (e.g., government research funding agencies or foundations) who will sponsor the project. ERD is unable to work on unfunded research projects.
• Citrine provides collaborative groups with unique combined expertise in materials-specific machine learning, physics-based simulations, state-of-the-art software infrastructure, and scientific software development.

I’d like to discuss a possible funded research opportunity.

• We would love to hear from you.
