Recognition was for their project entitled: Automated Workflows to Assess Physical Constraints in Neural Networks for Molecular Property Prediction.
Krishnapriyan is an Assistant Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, and also of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at UC Berkeley.
About the Award
Scialog is short for "science + dialog." Created in 2010 by RCSA, the Scialog format aims to accelerate breakthroughs by building a creative network of scientists that crosses disciplinary silos, and by stimulating intensive conversation around a scientific theme of global importance.
The 18 individual awards of $60,000 in direct costs will go to 17 researchers from a variety of institutions in the United States and Canada.
