Computational Modeling and Artificial Intelligence for Material Design

Artificial intelligence to predict porous materials behavior.

Seeking undergraduate researcher to work on an NSF-funded project on computational imaging and artificial intelligence supporting the design of advanced material. Experience in Python programming is required. 

Project is Not Currently Available

This project has reached full capacity for the current term. Please check back next semester for updates.

Project description

This project aims to develop computational models supporting the optimal design of material using advanced imaging and data science tools.

Students will work on:

  • Implementing novel neural networks for generating materials microstructure;
  • Integrating the network with physics-based modeling of material behavior;
  • Collaboration with PhD students to co-author scientific papers. 

Project outcome

The specific outcomes of this project will be identified by the faculty mentor at the beginning of your collaboration.
