Austin Sendek
Adjunct Professor, Materials Science and Engineering
BioAustin Sendek is Adjunct Professor of Materials Science & Engineering at Stanford University. His research and teaching focuses broadly on harnessing the power of machine learning and A.I. to accelerate the design and discovery of new materials for decarbonizing the global economy. He serves as an advisor and collaborator on several initiatives at Stanford, spanning from fundamental materials science research to technology entrepreneurship mentoring. He is also the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Aionics, Inc., a technology company dedicated to designing high performance batteries with A.I. and high performance compute (HPC)-based quantum mechanical simulation. He was included on the 2019 list of Forbes 30 Under 30 in Energy, and served as a Guest Lecturer in Mechanical Engineering at Columbia University in 2019 and 2020. He holds a B.S. in Applied Physics from UC Davis and a Ph.D. in Applied Physics from Stanford University.
Upcoming courses:
FALL 2023: Materials Science and Engineering 331: Computational materials science at the atomic scale. Introduction to computational materials science methods at the atomistic level, with an emphasis on quantum methods. A brief history of computational approaches is presented, with deep dives into the most impactful methods: density functional theory, tight-binding, empirical potentials, and machine learning-based property prediction. Computation of optical, electronic, phonon properties. Bulk materials, interfaces, nanostructures. Molecular dynamics. Prerequisites - undergraduate quantum mechanics. Experience writing code is preferred but not required.
