Highlight E (HE)
AI-driven design of materials
The mission of FCAI Highlight Program E is to develop AI technology for accelerated materials design and characterization.
Materials are the foundation of technological developments that shape our modern society. Their continuous development enables new applications and products, while the discovery of novel materials addresses such societal challenges as clean energy production, global prosperity, health and wellbeing. To meet these challenges, this highlight will develop AI technology for materials design and characterization.
The main goals of Highlight E include:
Goal 1: AI knowledge transfer to materials science community
Goal 2: New AI enabled materials science applications
Goal 3: AI enabled materials design
Highlight E works in close collaboration with Research Programs R2 Simulator-based inference (Jukka Corander and Samuel Kaski), R1 Agile probabilistic AI (Aki Vehtari), and R3 Next-generation data-efficient deep learning (Juho Kannala).
