Senior🎓
Top SchoolRajat Sainju is an AI/ML-focused postdoctoral appointee with nine years of experience applying deep learning and computer vision to scientific instrumentation and materials research. Based at Argonne National Laboratory after a PhD in Materials Engineering from UConn, he builds Retrieval-Augmented Generation systems and anomaly-detection models to extract actionable insights from experimental logbooks, schematics, and publications for large-scale particle accelerators. His background in computational microscopy and in-situ ETEM informs a pragmatic approach to fusing domain knowledge with ML, improving uptime and experimental throughput at the Advanced Photon Source. Earlier work spans materials characterization, robotics-enabled assistive design, and campus IT operations—an uncommon mix that blends hands-on lab expertise, production ML, and systems troubleshooting. Located in Chicago, he brings both academic rigor and operational focus to cross-disciplinary AI deployments.
