Syllabus

Unit 1

Introduction to material science – structure, properties, and process spaces – process-structure-property linkages – foundation of material informatics – introduction to molecular mechanism and force field – quantification of dynamics properties of polymers (monte carlo simulation, molecular dynamics simulation, normal mode analysis) – electronics structure of atoms (Gaussian, Gauss view, density functional theory)

Unit 2

Quantification and screening of materials properties – property prediction and optimization using AI – materials design and discovery using AI – how to handle small, spared, and low-quality dataset using AI

Unit 3

Materials failure and sustainability analysis – new material and inverse materials design concept – solve inverse design using AI – enhance speed, efficacy and cost-effectiveness of material using AI – basic concept of quantum computing in material informatics.

Unit 4

Case studies of materials informatics (use of AI) in different fields (e.g. energy, aerospace, biomedical, etc.) – ethical considerations and limitations of materials informatics – future directions and challenges in materials informatics.
