Machine Learning for Materials Discovery

Our materials informatics research applies data-driven ML approaches to accelerate the discovery and design of polymers and lattices. By integrating molecular simulation with specialized databases, we develop predictive tools that identify promising material candidates for targeted applications, especially for thermal applications, significantly reducing the time and cost of traditional trial-and-error experimentation. Students will be required to collect, clean and process the data with graduate students and perform ML tasks based on the data.
