Instructor Bio
Sergei V. Kalinin is a Weston Fulton chair professor at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. In 2022 – 2023, he has been a principal scientist at Amazon (special projects). Before then, he had spent 20 years at Oak Ridge National Laboratory where he was corporate fellow and group leader at the Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences. He received his MS degree from Moscow State University in 1998 and Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania (with Dawn Bonnell) in 2002.
His research focuses on the applications of machine learning and artificial intelligence methods in materials synthesis, discovery, and optimization, automated experiment and autonomous imaging and characterization workflows in scanning transmission electron microscopy and scanning probes for applications including physics discovery, atomic fabrication, as well as mesoscopic studies of electrochemical, ferroelectric, and transport phenomena via scanning probe microscopy.
