Methods and Applications of Autonomous Experimentation

Marcus M. Noack received his Ph.D. in applied mathematics from Oslo University, Norway. At Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, he is working on stochastic function approximation, optimization and uncertainty quantification, applied to Autonomous Experimentation.Daniela Ushizima, Ph.D. in physics from the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil after majoring in computer science, has been associated with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory since 2007, where she investigates machine learning algorithms applied to image processing. Her primary focus has been on developing computer vision software to automate scientific data analysis.
