However, for AI to tackle quantitative domains including automotive engineering it requires more than just language; specialized toolkits are needed to navigate complex 3D environments and satisfy rigorous physics constraints. In this talk, I introduce Datum, a San Francisco-based startup building the bridge between agentic AI and physical engineering. I will explore how we enable AI agents to search 3D geometries and automate physics simulations, putting decades of institutional knowledge and computational rigor at every engineer\u2019s fingertips. To conclude, I will share reflections on the current job market and search process, offering a founder's perspective on what it means to build\u2014and find\u2014a career at the frontier of this new technology.\n\nBIO:\nKevin Nelson is a Founding Engineer at Datum Systems Inc, a San Francisco-based startup specializing in AI agents for engineering design.\n\nBefore Datum, Kevin spent 11 years in particle physics research, starting at the College of William and Mary before coming to Michigan for his PhD and postdoctoral research with the ATLAS experiment. His research applied geometric deep learning to beyond the standard model searches in the Higgs sector. Now, at Datum he applies the same techniques to artificial intelligence.

A follow-up experiment replicates these results and identifies two mechanisms. First, information facilitates learning: voters form more accurate beliefs and evaluate criminal candidates less favorably. Second, using direct measures of voter attention, we show that information makes criminality more salient, and increases its weight in voting decisions. Salience effects are larger when information is surprising or highlights contrast, but do not vary with decision relevance, consistent with bottom-up attention. Causal forest estimates provide further evidence that learning and salience are both important drivers of changes in voting behavior.

Our laboratory develops fluorescence microscopy methods\u2014including fluorescence intensity and fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM)\u2014to understand chemical reactivity and physical processes in complex reaction media with spatial and temporal resolution. We examine aqueous\u2013organic reactions, oxidative addition to metal powders, and catalytic polymerization. These systems present particular challenges to traditional characterization methods: aqueous\u2013organic emulsions are heterogeneous and optically opaque, organometallic surface intermediates in oxidative\u2013addition reactions do not substantially build up, and many growing polymers are insoluble or spatially heterogenous. In these systems, FLIM reveals object sizes, catalyst localization and environments, the role of reagents, and the physiochemical reasons underpinning catalytic turnover rates. For example, droplet-to-droplet differences in emulsions under cross-coupling conditions suggest that individual droplets function as distinct reaction vessels.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"145683-21897695@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/145683", "building_id":"1000158", "building_name":"Chemistry Dow Lab", "campus_maps_id":"34", "room":"1200", "location_name":"Chemistry Dow Lab", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Chemistry"], "website":"", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Department of Chemistry", "group_id":"3761", "website":"https:\/\/lsa.umich.edu\/chem" } ], "image_url":"", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"", "event_large":"", "event_large_2x":"", "event_large_lightbox":"", "group_thumb":"", "group_thumb_square":"", "group_large":"", "group_large_lightbox":"", "event_large_crop":"", "event_list":"", "event_list_2x":"", "event_grid":"", "event_grid_2x":"", "event_feature_large":"", "event_feature_thumb":"" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21897695 } , "147224-21900543": { "datetime_modified":"20260330T130724", "datetime_start":"20260430T170000", "datetime_end":"20260430T193000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-04-30", "date_end":"2026-04-30", "time_start":"17:00:00", "time_end":"19:30:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"2026 International Institute Graduation and Reception Ceremony", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"2026 International Institute Graduation and Reception Ceremony: Honoring the MIRS, PICS, and Center Graduates", "event_subtitle":"Honoring the MIRS, PICS, and Center Graduates", "event_type":"Ceremony \/ Service", "event_type_id":"3", "description":"The International Institute announces the 2026 Graduation Ceremony.
