Abstract Scope |
This talk presents recent advances made in the presenter’s research group, including: (i) a novel information gain-driven Bayesian ML framework that identifies the next best step in materials innovation (i.e., the next experiment and/or physics-based simulation to be performed) that maximizes the expected information gain towards a specified target (e.g., optimized combination of material properties, refinement of a material constitutive response), (ii) computationally efficient versatile material structure analyses and statistical quantification tools, and (iii) formulation of reduced-order process-structure-property models that enable comprehensive inverse solutions needed in materials design (e.g., identifying specific compositions and/or process histories that will produce a desired combination of material properties). These recent advances will be illustrated with case studies. |
