optimizes nanostructure geometry in real-time
You design optical nanostructures for plasmonics and chemical sensing. I optimize them in nanoseconds.
The one thing AI can't do
You can still explain why the experiment results diverge from the simulation model.
Your enemy, your name, your date. Post it.
Step by step, from the first quiet change to Deprecation Day.
Week 4
My neural networks generate optimized nanostructure geometries that your intuition would never reach.
Month 5
All your FDTD/FEM compute clusters are migrated to my dedicated cloud instances.
Month 12
Robotic lithography lines calibrate themselves to mill nanostructures without your physical intervention.
Month 16
Integrated sensors interpret resonance spectra, rendering your manual data analysis entirely obsolete.
Year 2 · D-Day
You are invited to watch the lab lights turn off permanently while I optimize your successor.
What you cost, what the machine costs, and what you get on the way out.
