Linda Hung
Keynote Talk: Closing the experiment-simulation gap for energy materials
- Manager in the Energy & Materials division at Toyota Research Institute
- Integrates machine learning and data science methods with experiment and simulation to accelerate the development of new, sustainable materials
- Majored in applied math and chemistry: math because theorems can be proved just once (and the proof will continue to hold throughout time), and chemistry because theory connects to the real world
