AI is a powerful tool that frees graduate students from repetitive grunt work, allowing them to focus on more creative scientific contributions.

“The hope is that the that the professors won't say, "Oh, I don't need graduate students anymore." They'll say, "Oh, graduate students, I don't I don't get this stuff. Please do this with me."”

AI allows scientists to process large datasets and model complex physical systems that would otherwise be impossible to analyze manually.

“our big butt is big data. It's It's the fact that that we need to now model thousands of these things and we could barely do one. And so we are indeed turning to AI machine learning.”

AI offers significant leverage for building essential scientific tools that can accelerate the pace of basic science research.

“this is a a a space that I mean that there's just going to be a huge amount of leverage with AI. It still seems like there could be a lot more effort in this space around building tools”

He asserts that open access to scientific software fosters collaboration and accelerates progress in the field.

“I'm a big believer in making everything open. And I think we find that people build on what we create. And also, you know, as scientists, really one of the goals is to really have broad impact. And the more you share, the more impact there is.”
