Since March 2023, I am serving as a Director of artificial intelligence (AI) programs at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL).
I direct the ORNL’s <a href="https://www.ornl.gov/ai-initiative" target="_blank">Artificial Intelligence Initiative</a>, a multimillion-dollar Laboratory Directed Research and Development portfolio.
I set the strategic vision, direction for AI for science portfolio and develop plans and execute them.
I seek to deliver foundational, scalable, and applied AI/ML capabilities that support the broad mission of ORNL, providing world-class solutions in areas such as computer and computational science, materials science, manufacturing, energy, and climate science.
</p>

<p align="justify">
The ORNL’s AI initiative focuses on the development of secure, trustworthy, and energy-efficient AI solutions to tackle problems of national importance.
The initiative's portfolio comprises more than 10 projects and involves over 50 researchers from across the lab.
Through the AI Initiative's AI Academy, I engage with more than 100 ORNL AI researchers to promote the adoption of secure, trustworthy, and energy-efficient AI methods.
This engagement is facilitated through numerous workforce development activities for the lab, including the AI Summer Institute, AI Tutorial Series for Science, AI for Science Bootcamps, AI Hackathons, AI Expo, and the AI Seminar Series.
