109: How AI & ML Will Revolutionize Microscopy (ft. Dr. Sergei Kalinin)

<p>Watch the full episode here:</p> <p>https://youtu.be/8t4yR6br6Kg</p> <p> </p> <p>Have you ever taken a long SEM scan, only to realize that the image doesn’t show what you are looking for? </p> <p>Or maybe you were grinding and polishing a mounted sample, only to realize that you grinded too much material away. </p> <p> </p> <p>Normally, you would have to start over the data collection process in these scenarios. But what if AI could automate the image-taking process? What if it could detect 3D information based on a 2D image? </p> <p> </p> <p>In today’s episode, we welcome Dr. Sergei Kalinin, professor at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville for today’s guest. We explore the potential benefits of applying ML & AI to microscopy. Specifically, we discuss: </p> <p> </p> <p>🔹How microscopy could be automated </p> <p>🔹What value can ML and AI contribute to microscopy and MSE as a whole </p> <p>🔹Advice for students of how to easily switch career paths </p> <p>🔹The “hidden” differences between working in academia, industry, and national labs </p> <p>🔹And much more! </p> <p> </p> <p>We hope you enjoy the episode! And as always, let us know what topics you’d like us to cover next! </p> <p> </p> <p>Learn more about our MSE Career Development Online Course, which includes more industry-specific information and advice.</p> <p>https://www.mseacademy.com/courses/students-tier-2</p> <p> </p> <p>Join our Discord community!
