Abstract Scope |
The Materials Genome Initiative (MGI) was, in no small part, built upon the success of ICME. Determining and remedying the gaps in the ICME infrastructure is fully aligned with MGI. In this presentation, I will discuss the new strategic directions within the MGI, and the increased emphasis on informatics as a tool for materials R&D. NIST has focused its support of the MGI on the management, quality, and use of data to accelerate the discovery, design, development, and deployment of new materials. While the program foresaw the day when data-driven materials science would be a rising paradigm for research, the recent demonstrated successes, in a variety of disciplines, of artificial intelligence algorithms has changed the conversation on the value of AI while simultaneously reinvigorating interest in related techniques. This confluence has left the MGI and the application of ICME perfectly poised to capitalize on these remarkable developments.
