This workshop will explore the use of machine learning techniques in alloy design and metals processing. It will bring together experts in computational materials design, machine learning and high-performance computing with those in metallurgy and materials characterisation to consider the particular challenges in exploiting modern computational methods in designing new metallic materials and to explore opportunities and exchange ideas for major collaborative projects. Please see the Background page for further information about the background to and motivation for the workshop.
