Maxim Ziatdinov
Team Leader - Materials Discovery
Richland, Washington, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMaxim Ziatdinov is a Team Leader in Materials Discovery at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory with eight years of experience applying machine learning to experimental materials science. He designs and implements custom ML workflows—ranging from physics-informed active learning and Bayesian optimization to variational autoencoders with built-in invariances—to accelerate microscopy, synthesis, and quantum materials research. Previously he led autonomous electron microscopy projects at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, building streaming-analysis pipelines that close the loop between instruments and high-performance computing. An open-source advocate, he created widely used tools such as AtomAI to help researchers integrate ML into lab workflows. Trained with a PhD in Materials Science from Tokyo Institute of Technology, he blends deep domain knowledge, hands-on instrument experience, and production ML engineering. Colleagues describe him as a pragmatic innovator who turns complex experimental constraints into robust, reproducible software and automated discovery pipelines.
