About
Dr. Lucy Hao is a leading innovator at the intersection of automation, artificial intelligence, and materials science, best known for her pioneering work in developing self-driving laboratories (SDLs). Her major contribution is the creation of **IvoryOS**, a groundbreaking, interoperable web interface that orchestrates Python-based SDLs. This work directly addresses a critical bottleneck in the field: the lack of standardized software, which has historically hindered the adoption and transferability of autonomous experimentation systems across different labs. By enabling seamless communication and control between diverse robotic and AI components, IvoryOS has laid the essential software foundation for democratizing and scaling accelerated scientific discovery. Her most-cited paper (2025, 10 citations) has quickly become a key reference for researchers building or integrating SDLs. Dr. Hao’s vision is not merely to automate experiments but to create a universal, collaborative ecosystem where AI-driven laboratories can share protocols and data, dramatically speeding up the discovery of new materials and chemical processes. Her work is shaping the future of autonomous research.
