Geoffroy Hautier is the Trustee Professor of Materials Science and NanoEngineering at Rice University and a RAMI faculty fellow. He joined Rice from Dartmouth where he was the Hogdson Family Professor of Engineering. Prof. Hautier graduated with a PhD in Materials Science and Engineering from MIT in 2011 followed by a postdoctoral and faculty position at UCLouvain (Belgium). His research focuses on high-throughput computational materials discovery and design. His team uses modeling at the atomistic scale and artificial intelligence techniques to search and develop new materials in various fields from opto-electronics to quantum information science (http://sites.dartmouth.edu/hautiergroup/). Professor Hautier is one of the early developers and co-PI of the Materials Project (http://www.materialsproject.org), a freely accessible high-throughput computational database serving hundreds of thousands of users. He is also the co-founder and chief scientific officer of the start-up Matgenix (http://www.matgenix.com) which provides computational and machine learning support in the materials and chemical industry. Professor Hautier authored more than 150 peer-reviewed publications which have been cited more than 40,000 times with a h-index of 70. He is an associate editor for the journal npj computational materials science
