The document discusses using high-throughput density functional theory (DFT) calculations and machine learning to aid in the design of thermoelectric materials. It describes how the author's group has used automated DFT workflows to screen over 50,000 compounds for potential thermoelectric performance. Several new materials with promising figures of merit were identified through this process, including TmAgTe2, though experimental realization proved challenging. It also discusses efforts to incorporate machine learning to help guide materials discovery and address limitations of DFT, such as accurately modeling doping concentrations. Overall, the document outlines the author's work applying computational methods at a large scale to accelerate the discovery of efficient thermoelectric materials.
