Prof. Kristin Persson was recognized for pioneering data-driven materials design through first-principles computational methods and machine learning, and for founding and leading The Materials Project as a transformative global open-sciences resource. Persson has more than 350 peer-reviewed publications and over 82,000 citations. For her AI in science research, Kristin noted that “AI is not simply making an existing calculation fast. It is allowing us to ask scientific questions that were previously computationally inaccessible.”
