[AMD] Research Group Leader
Mission Innovation Champion – The Netherlands
Dr. Süleyman Er is the head of [AMD] Research Group at DIFFER, the Netherlands. [AMD] develops and uses automated virtual materials discovery frameworks – powered by high-throughput physics-based classical and quantum calculations, artificial intelligence methods, and advanced data-infrastructures – to accelerate the discovery of molecules and materials for energy applications. [AMD] research group has highly integrated research lines that individually focusing on computation on new battery and catalyst material design and data-driven method development to accelerate the search for good molecules/materials. The group is productive in developing methodological and materials research output as well as open-source codes and FAIR databases. [AMD] has a collaborative research culture both internally and externally with its (inter)national project partners..
Before joining DIFFER, Dr. Er studied chemistry at Bilkent University (Turkey) and obtained PhD in physics from University of Twente (Netherlands). Subsequently, he worked as a Young Energy Scientist Fellow, first at Harvard University (USA) and then at Leiden University (Netherlands). Dr. Er has been involved with various small- and large-scale computational research projects on energy materials design. In addition to publications, patents, reports, and supervising theses, his impact to date has been acknowledged by several monetary and computing grants, invited presentations and lectures, prizes and medals.
