Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolViktoriia Baibakova is an AI Research Scientist specializing in ML, LLMs, and AI-guided discovery of materials for national-scale energy solutions, with eight years of research experience spanning academia and national labs. She holds a PhD in Materials Science from UC Berkeley and has driven projects that combine chemical reaction networks, computer vision, and text mining—building an 8 million–article database and automated extraction tools for experimental optical data. Her work accelerated computational materials synthesis and DFT pathway convergence through topology-informed methods developed at Skolkovo and Berkeley. At Oak Ridge she bridged research and community as president of the postdoc executive committee while advancing LLM and AI-guided synthesis efforts. Now at Lila Sciences she focuses on scientific superintelligence for in-silico materials discovery, blending deep domain knowledge with practical tooling to shorten discovery cycles. Notably, she pairs hands-on experimental expertise (XRD, SEM, chromatography) with state-of-the-art ML to translate literature and plots into actionable materials insight.
