• Integrate platforms (e.g., ELN, SDMS & AI Cloud) to liberate, contextualize, and operationalize lab data for AI/ML.
• Stand up modern MLOps (CI/CD, registries, experiment tracking, monitoring) and secure service/APIs embedded in workflows.

Agentic AI & Productization

• Design self-service and user-friendly processes for deployment of AI agents for scientists (literature triage, protocol assist, data QC, analysis pipelines, code helpers).
• Guide engineering efforts to deliver production models (e.g., sequence/structure prediction, assay QC, outlier detection, multimodal analytics).

Adoption & Change Enablement

• Lead adoption via super‐user networks, training, and communications; co‐own readiness plans with NCSP.
• Work with Change Management leads to publish playbooks and guardrails enabling self‐service AI workflows for scientists.

Governance, Risk & Compliance

• Define and Implement Responsible AI and risk‐based governance (ALCOA+, validation mindset, audit trails, XAI, privacy/PII controls).

Impact & Reporting

• Own measurable impact (adoption, latency, reproducibility, ROI) and provide transparent reporting to R&D leadership and key stakeholders.
