Generative AI as a Multi-Scale Enabler in Guiding the Energy Transition

The global shift towards sustainable and renewable energy systems presents one of the most critical challenges of our time, necessitating innovative approaches that span multiple scales – from atomic to grid-level dynamics. This talk explores how generative AI serves as a transformative tool in this transition by leveraging its capacity to model complex, interconnected systems. This talk explores applications of generative models in accelerating the discovery of innovative materials for energy applications, identifying novel process routes, and helping process integration while addressing process-environment interactions.
