Join Steven for a 1-hour small-group discussion to learn more about his experience at URochester and beyond, tap into his expertise and advice, and ask questions. Steven B. Torrisi works at NVIDIA on AI for chemistry and materials science, helping bring accelerated computing to scientific discovery. Before joining NVIDIA in 2026, he spent five years as a Senior Research Scientist at Toyota Research Institute. There he led machine-learning projects that took materials predictions all the way from computer simulation to lab synthesis, including guiding the discovery of new battery cathode materials. He also worked as the primary liaison to research programs at MIT, Stanford, Berkeley, Columbia, and Northwestern. Steven earned his PhD in Physics from Harvard in 2021 as a DOE Computational Science Graduate Fellow. At Harvard he co-developed the open-source ML package FLARE . He has co-authored more than 30 papers.On a more personal note, Steven was a proud denizen of the Physics, Optics, and Astronomy library during his time at Rochester. He was also in the Wind Symphony and the UR Debate Union, and was very passionate about the physics department community. During his time at Rochester he spent a summer working at the LLE, semesters working in the physics department, and did the DAAD-RISE program in Germany.
