And we're trying to automate science.
We're gonna get into all those points.
Yeah, really happy to be here.
Thanks for having me on.
Yes.
Um I guess like that's the whole story, right?
Uh so I did my PhD at University of Washington and uh I worked in a group with um I think nineteen people doing experiments and like two people doing simulations.
And I was working on a topic uh called molecular dynamics, um, which I think is actually suddenly becoming interesting again as everyone's looking for ways to generate data from first principle simulation.
And molecular dynamics, you know, covers
uh basically everything that's molecules moving around and dynamic systems so like biology, things like that.
Of course the compliment in material sciences.
Things like density functional theory where you can model chemical reactions in these like solid systems.
So it's working on that and we work on biomaterials.
And so the goal of my my PhD was trying to find what are called non-fouling materials.
So in biological systems, whenever you put like a um foreign object into the body, it will trigger a response.
And that response called the foreign body response basically it encapsulates it in like this um layer of collagen.
This actually is exploited for some implants.
Like if you get a heart uh sorry, pacemaker installed, like it coats it with this collagen so that if you go to change the battery, you can almost change the battery out like without even bleeding because like the body has like completely encased it.
And this is great for pacemakers, but for like a glucose sensor or like a you know, brain cognitive interface, BCI is what they call it now.
Yeah.
