Overview of class
Overview:
This class will cover the field of materials informatics: the use of machine learning, artificial intelligence and data-driven tools applied to problems in materials science. This area is very active and growing in research applications as well as industrial and technological applications.
Projects:
Students will work on several short homework/lab computational projects and one longer project during the quarter. Hands-on applications will focus on materials datasets, machine learning tools, and the development of materials property models from ML/AI.
Topics:
Materials databases and datasets; materials representations based on features, structural information, and graph based methods; materials applications of large language models, autonomous labs, automated experimental characterization tools
