Research
Accelerated Discovery for a Safer Future
The Materials Discovery Research Institute’s research applies AI, data, and high-throughput methods to rapidly develop materials for clean energy and eco-remediation. Our lab is built for urgency, because global challenges demand solutions that cannot wait.
Accelerated Discovery
Materials discovery research designed to meet global safety challenges
Our research addresses two critical global safety challenges: creating advanced materials for clean energy and long-duration storage and developing solutions that remove pollutants from air and water.
Our focus is to develop novel, commercially relevant materials capable of removing greenhouse gases and other pollutants from the atmosphere, and to provide safer, cleaner water to everyone.
Our focus is to discover breakthrough materials—with safety and cost effectiveness in mind—to further enable the world’s transition away from fossil fuels and toward renewable energy sources.
Pioneering Researchers
The minds behind the mission
Every breakthrough begins with the people who make it possible. Our research is powered by a multidisciplinary team of scientists, engineers, and technologists working at the forefront of materials discovery. Their expertise drives innovation and turns complex challenges into real-world solutions.
