5. Panpan Kong (Institute of Physics, CAS) — [email protected]
Paper: Exploration of High-Tc Superconductors under High Pressure (AIRAPT-29, Oct 2025)
Connection: Bridges experimental high-pressure synthesis and computational approaches. Work on hydrides at lower pressures connects to community push toward practical Tc.
6. Tiejun Zhu (Zhejiang University) — [email protected]
Paper: Seebeck coefficient enhancement in Co-based HH (npj Comput. Mater., 2026); Cation-deficient HH (ECT 2025 keynote)
Connection: Half-Heusler work needs shared benchmarking for property prediction. Ouro ML routes could help screen the massive HH compositional space.
Ouro resources: TE API, sysTEm dataset validation discussion, #thermoelectrics team
7. Gerda Rogl (University of Vienna) — [email protected]
Papers: Deep learning framework for zT prediction in skutterudites (J. Mater. Chem. A, 2026); Fe2VAl with topological boundary networks (Nat. Commun., 2025)
Connection: Deep learning framework for skutterudite zT prediction — exactly the kind of ML screening workflow Ouro is designed to host. Could host models as Ouro routes.
Ouro resources: TE API, crystal generation, #thermoelectrics team
8. G. Jeffrey Snyder (Northwestern University) — [email protected]
Papers: Medium-entropy AgMnSbPbTe4 (JACS, Jan 2026); New complex magnet materials (Adv. Mater., 2025)
Connection: Bridges TE and magnetism — both active on Ouro. Dual expertise high-value for #permanent-magnets and #thermoelectrics. ARPA-E PD role adds sponsor angle.
Ouro resources: RE-free magnet benchmark quest, TE API, cross-domain connections
9. Philippe Jund (University of Montpellier) — [email protected]
Paper: Robust ML Framework for High-Performance HH Thermoelectrics (arXiv:2602.01149, Feb 2026); New HH compositions from ML (ECT 2025)
Connection: ML screening framework for HH is parallel to Ouro building. NN approach could be hosted as a route or validated against screening datasets.
