Sergei V. Kalinin

Sergei V. Kalinin is a corporate fellow at the Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences (CNMS) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. He is also a Joint Associate Professor at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville. Kalinin graduated with M.S. from the Department of Materials Science, Moscow State University, Russia in 1998. He received his Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from the University of Pennsylvania in 2002 under Prof. Dawn Bonnell. He has been a research staff member at ORNL since October 2004 (Senior since 2007, Distinguished since 2013). Previously he was Theme leader for Electronic and Ionic Functionality at CNMS, ORNL (2007– 2015). He was a recipient of the Eugene P. Wigner Fellowship (2002 – 2004). Kalinin’s research focuses on the applications of machine learning and artificial intelligence techniques for the analysis of nanometer-scale and atomically resolved imaging data, with the central concept being the extraction of physics of atomic, molecular, and mesoscale interactions from imaging data and enabling the real-time feedback for controlled matter modification, patterning, and atom by atom fabrication.

He is a recipient of the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) in 2009, Blavatnik Award Laureate (2018), IEEE-UFFC Ferroelectrics Young Investigator Award in 2010, Burton medal of Microscopy Society of America in 2010, ISIF Young Investigator Award in 2009, American Vacuum Society 2008 Peter Mark Memorial Award, 2003 Ross Coffin Award and 2009 Robert L. Coble Awards of American Ceramics Society, RMS medal for Scanning Probe Microscopy (2015); 4 R&D100 Awards (2008, 2010, 2016, and 2018) He was named a fellow of Materials Research Society (2017), Foresight Institute (2017), MRS (2016), AVS (2015), APS (2015), and a senior member (2015) and Fellow (2017) of IEEE.
