Developing Artificial Intelligence Imaging Tools for Material Design

energic phase.

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 description

This project aims to develop codes supporting the optimal design of material microstructure patterns using advanced imaging and data science, and uncertainty quantification methods.
Students will work on:

  •  Implementing novel neural networks training methods based on Bayesian inference
  • Training generative neural networks using imaging data of microstructure patterns
  • Integrating the trained network with other libraries for physics-based modeling, simulation, and optimization

Project outcome

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