Machine Learning for Materials Science

Poster

About

Machine Learning is transforming the area of materials science by aiding materials screening, discovery and design. ML techniques are already cutting down the time required for discovery of novel functional materials significantly, and this trend is going to increase going forward. Eventually a big part of materials science is going to be done in autonomous, self-driving labs, aided by ML models including generative AI.
In order to prepare the next generation of researchers and science/technology experts in these emerging areas, this course will introduce the foundational concepts of Machine Learning relevant to materials science. No prior knowledge of ML is assumed. However, knowledge of basic Solid State Physics/Chemistry and Python scripting are required.
At the end of the course, students will be able to use ML in their area of study/research using available data and standard packages.

Syllabus

Prerequisites

BSc/BS, BE/BTech (for students in Master degree), MSc/MS or ME/MTech (for students pursuing PhD) with at least one course on solid state physics/chemistry, and knowledge of python scripting. Familiarity with first-principles density functional theory calculations and/or experimental techniques is desirable, but not essential.

Books
