Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAustin Mroz is a Schmidt AI in Science Research Fellow at Imperial College London with nine years’ experience at the intersection of experimental chemistry, materials discovery, and scalable AI. Trained as a mechanical engineer turned chemist with a PhD in physical chemistry, he develops data-driven closed-loop optimization algorithms, generative models, and highly efficient computational workflows that can reduce resource needs by up to a million-fold. He has led industry collaborations (BP-ICAM), secured over £60K in research funding, and built open-source tools and database structures to democratize AI-driven materials discovery. Beyond research, Austin co-directs a Women in AI network, teaches Bayesian optimisation to diverse audiences, and manages shared HPC/compute infrastructure—combining hands-on software and simulation engineering with practical lab collaboration to accelerate discovery.
