How can AI help scientists design better molecules and next-generation batteries? Stony Brook researcher Yi Liu is tackling this question through two related efforts: a three-year, $622,471 NSF project rebuilding generative AI to create new molecules, and a collaborative project with BNL researchers to explore AI and ML approaches for the design and optimization of battery electrolytes.
Donghee Yvette Wohn has been appointed the inaugural chair of the new Department of Technology, AI and Society (DTAS) in the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences, effective September 1, 2026. Wohn’s research on the topics of human-computer interaction (HCI), artificial intelligence and online social behavior have earned her a national and international reputation as a leading voice in the field.
