I work on Microsoft Discovery, an AI-driven platform designed to accelerate computational R&D and product discovery. My role involves developing intelligent agents and computational tools that help researchers explore, simulate, and evaluate new product solutions more efficiently. For each R&D project, we develop specialized AI agents and computational tools. The agents can identify and call the appropriate tools, execute computational workflows, and support researchers throughout the simulation and analysis process. These tools are integrated with open-source computational software for Molecular Dynamics (MD), Density Functional Theory (DFT), Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), and other scientific simulation methods. The computational tools are packaged using Docker containers and deployed through the Microsoft Azure portal, providing a scalable and reliable environment for running scientific workflows. This enables computational simulations and analyses to be accessed and executed through automated, AI-driven workflows. Microsoft Discovery also provides a desktop version that is open source, allowing users to install the platform locally and access its capabilities directly on their own systems. This provides flexibility for researchers who want to run and explore computational workflows within their local environment. Overall, my work focuses on bringing together AI agents, scientific computing, computational simulations, cloud technologies, and automation to accelerate R&D. By connecting AI with established computational methods, we aim to reduce the time required for simulation and analysis and enable researchers to discover and develop new materials and products faster and more efficiently.
