Episode 54 | AI and the Molecular Universe | SES AI

How AI is revolutionising the search and design of new battery material candidates is right at the cutting edge of material discovery for battery technology. The array of potential materials is huge, so how can AI help us navigate that and prioritise targets. In this episode I am joined by Qichao Hu and Daniel Hannah of SES AI to explore how SES AI are developing advanced AI systems to explore the material universe that are yielding real results in the quest for the next generation of battery materials.   Speaker Notes: Qichao Hu | CEO | SES AI https://www.linkedin.com/in/qichao-hu-solidenergy/ Daniel Hannah | Associate Director | SES AI https://www.linkedin.com/in/danielchannah/   SES AI https://www.ses.ai/ The Molecular Universe website: molecular-universe.com/about Demonstration of Molecular Universe: Live demo | Molecular Universe (MU-1): Building an End-to-End Workflow   Host Ken Davies | Managing Director | GSE Media Ltd https://www.linkedin.com/in/kendavies/ [email protected]   Sponsorship   The Battery Technology Podcast is sponsored by Battery Tech Europe | FIRA de Barcelona | September 2026 | Showcasing European based innovation in battery technology and systems across energy storage and next generation battery storage applications. We’re showcasing European battery technology development in applications where the next 10 years of battery technology growth will be found, particularly in BESS and emerging battery applications. Barcelona is a vibrant location providing access to the high growth Southern European markets undergoing rapid investment and government support in reliable energy infrastructure across many applications from data centers to grid infrastructure.   For more details: https://batterytechexpoeurope.com/   or contact me at [email protected]
