Related Upcoming Events:

Materials informatics (MI) may be considered the 4th paradigm of scientific inquiry, in addition to experimental, theoretical and computational approaches. MI is made possible by the universal access to abundant scientific data, assisted by advances in software and machine learning (ML) to analyze the data. For materials problems with specific designing goals, physics-based indicators (or assumptions) are necessary to help narrowing down the informatics search.
