Abstract

This interview forms part of our Humans of AI3SD Series. Keith Butler is a Senior Data Scientist working on materials science research in the SciML team at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory. SciML is a team in the Scientific Computing Division working with the large STFC facilities (Diamond, ISIS Neutron and Muon Source and Central Laser Facility, for example) to use machine learning to push the boundaries of fundamental science. In this Humans of AI3SD interview he discusses the impact of his work, the potential of self- driving labs, the importance of explainable and interpretable machine learning systems and why early career researchers should shout about what they know (and use Linux!).
