#304 Accelerating Data Science | Nick Becker & Dan Hannah | NVIDIA & SES AI
GPU acceleration is transforming how data scientists tackle computationally intensive problems in the AI and materials science fields. When dealing with billions of potential molecular combinations or massive datasets requiring dimensionality reduction, traditional CPU approaches often become prohibitively slow and expensive. How can data professionals determine when GPU acceleration will provide meaningful benefits to their workflows? Understanding the right applications for this technology can mean the difference between waiting hours versus minutes for critical results.
Nick Becker is a Technical Product Manager at NVIDIA, focused on building RAPIDS and the broader accelerated data science ecosystem. Nick has a professional background in technology and government. Prior to NVIDIA, he worked at Enigma Technologies, a data science startup. Before Enigma, he conducted economics research and forecasting at the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, the central bank of the United States.
Dan Hannah is an Associate Director at SES AI Corporation. At SES, Dan leads a research program focused on discovering new battery materials using machine learning, chemical informatics, and physics-driven simulations. Prior to joining SES, Dan spent several years as a data scientist in the cybersecurity industry. Dan holds a Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from Northwestern University and did a postdoctoral fellowship at Berkeley National Lab, where his focus was the discovery of novel inorganic materials for energy applications.
In the episode, Richie, Nick, and Dan explore the quest for new battery technologies, the role of data science and machine learning in material discovery, the integration of NVIDIA's GPU technology, the balance between computational simulations and lab work, and much more.
