About David Friday
Former Air Force chemist, Chemistry PhD employing AI/ML methods, working at Eli Lilly as an Advisor in Bioproduct R&D. I enjoy collaborative cross-disciplinary work, solving problems preventing human, societal, and environmental maturation. A highlight of my PhD was collaborating with 4 professors & their students to discover a novel photodegradation mechanism in organic photovoltaic materials via a closed-loop automated-experimentation data-centered ML/AI approach.In my personal, social, and work life, I try to follow Jesus Christ as well as I can - honoring God in all things, and loving others as myself. Jesus is the reason I\'m alive; I\'d be happy to tell you more.
