From the Daily Californian: Four Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory researchers have received Early Career Research Program awards from the U.S. Department of Energy. Each scientist will receive $875,000 from the department to pursue their desired research over the next five years. The awardees — Asmit Bhowmick, Bingqing Cheng, Marcus Noack and Dan Wang — will focus their research on applying artificial intelligence, which the federal administration has labeled “superintelligence,” in the fields of physics, biology and chemistry. Both Wang and Noack will focus on developing AI systems that are guided by physics, with Wang’s research focusing on AI’s possible use to control particle accelerators. Cheng, an assistant professor of chemistry at UC Berkeley, will use AI to try to find how electric fields affect chemistry...
The awards were dispensed by the Office of Science of the DOE, which describes itself as the largest supporter of basic research in the physical sciences nationwide, supporting 32,000 researchers...
