Janardhan Rao Doppa Research Group

Washington State University

Doppa develops artificial intelligence methods that help decide what to design or test next. His research connects structured machine learning and adaptive experimental design with scientific discovery and engineering optimization. WSU describes applications in hardware design, nanoporous materials, drug discovery, three-dimensional printing, cybersecurity, and agriculture. His faculty site also discusses theory-guided learning for managing system performance, power, and temperature. The distinctive opportunity is working on AI that guides expensive research and design choices, where learning algorithms must account for objectives and constraints beyond predictive accuracy alone.
