MRSEC-Supported Research on Physics-Aware Generative AI Presented at AAAI-26

Posted on

In January, Qiyuan Chen presented MRSEC-supported research at the 40th AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AAAI-26) in Singapore. With a highly selective acceptance rate of 17.6% this year, AAAI remains one of the premier international venues for peer-reviewed research in artificial intelligence (AI). Chen’s presentation introduced a new physics-aware generative AI framework designed to decode the complex structure of disordered materials.
