How can cutting-edge technology revolutionize packaging for fresh produce? In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Po-Yen Chen, Assistant Professor at the University of Maryland, to explore how his lab is leveraging AI and flexible robotic technologies to discover and develop new functional materials. By implementing active learning frameworks with robot-aided experiments, Po-Yen’s team is constructing high-accuracy prediction models that accelerate the development of materials for sustainable plastic substitutes and more efficient packaging.
Listen in as we discuss the challenges of current packaging solutions, particularly the issues posed by microplastics. You'll learn how AI can expedite the discovery of sustainable packaging materials and the timeline for creating effective solutions. Po-Yen will also share insights into the future of sustainable packaging, including exciting developments like films that can double the shelf life of produce. Discover why integrating machine intelligence into the packaging design process is essential for advancing sustainability in the industry.
