Course Abstract
Material informatics is transforming the way materials are discovered, designed, developed, selected, and deployed. Use of informatics and data science helps make better decisions by providing insights into risks, patterns, and trends. In this course, we learn about the impact of data science on materials engineering with emphasis on materials informatics. Although computer models of materials are widely used, there is an increasing trend toward data-driven approaches, drawing on data from both high-throughput computations and experiments. The course provides knowledge on materials design and discovery through modern materials informatics tools and large-scale multiscale modeling, with the ultimate goal of speeding up the design process and enabling cost-effective, rapid discovery, prototyping, and decision-making.
