We, at Materials Informatics Research Group (MIRG), intend to demonstrate the significance of artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) and their effective integration into materials science and engineering. Our objective is to leverage data-driven approaches to enhance the understanding, prediction, and design of advanced materials, thereby accelerating innovation beyond conventional experimental and computational methodologies.
Here are the few visible research output (publications) of AI/ML in materials science by MIRG:
