About

Fengqi You is a pioneering researcher whose work sits at the intersection of artificial intelligence, materials science, and sustainable systems engineering. His key research areas include the development of generalist material intelligence, AI-driven scientific discovery, and computational optimization for sustainability. You’s most notable contribution is the introduction of the "agent-in-the-loop" paradigm, a groundbreaking framework that integrates large language models (LLMs) with conceptual reasoning, computational modeling, and experimental validation to accelerate materials innovation. This work, detailed in his highly cited 2025 paper "Empowering Generalist Material Intelligence with Large Language Models" (15 citations), positions LLM-based agents as central orchestrators of scientific inquiry. Beyond this, You has made significant strides in process systems engineering, particularly in optimizing energy systems and supply chains for reduced environmental impact. With a citation count exceeding 20,000 and an h-index above 70, his influence spans AI, chemistry, and engineering. Recognized with numerous awards, including the NSF CAREER Award, You’s research continues to shape how intelligent systems can tackle complex global challenges, from climate change to advanced material design.
