AI-Assisted Composite Materials Design
International Workshop on Accelerating Material Innovation through Artificial Intelligence
About This Course
“AI-Assisted Composite Materials Design” is an international, hands-on workshop that explores how AI is transforming traditional materials science workflows. Participants will learn to use data-driven models, surrogate optimization, and deep learning algorithms to predict material properties, simulate behavior, and discover new composite formulations with tailored mechanical, thermal, or electrical properties.
The workshop emphasizes real-world datasets, multi-scale modeling, and AI-powered tools like Bayesian optimization, Neural Networks, Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), and AutoML platforms applied to composite design and simulation.
Aim
