SUNY Polytechnic Institute has joined a $19.9 million National Science Foundation project led by Rice University, titled “Revolutionizing AI‑Driven Autonomous Experimentation for Next‑Generation Semiconductor Synthesis” (READINESS). The four‑year initiative will deploy AI, robotics, and cloud‑based labs to speed the discovery and production of advanced electronic and quantum materials. SUNY Poly will build autonomous PVD and CVD systems, develop short courses, and expand research capacity alongside Rice and the University of Texas at Austin, targeting oxide thin films, 2‑D materials, and diamond films.
