About this role
Your Impact at LILA Your role will involve applying computational condensed matter physics and electronic structure expertise to accelerate materials discovery, optimization, and understanding. You will use first-principles modeling, atomistic simulations, scientific machine learning, and agentic AI systems to investigate complex materials with direct relevance to superconductors, quantum materials, or electronic devices. You will work at the intersection of physics-based simulation, AI/ML, and autonomous scientific workflows. The focus is on using computational insight to identify promising materials, explain structure-property relationships, guide optimization, and help agents reason over simulation and experimental data in scientifically grounded ways.…
