Materials Modeling with Machine Learning – Extending the Reach of ab initio Methods to the Engineering Scale

Materials Modeling with Machine Learning  – Extending the Reach of ab initio Methods to the Engineering Scale

Join Gus Hart (BYU), Bill Curtin (EPFL); with Clint Geller, Volker Eyert, Clive Freeman, and Erich Wimmer (Materials Design).

This interactive live panel discussion and Q&A will focus on machine learning potential applications in materials modeling and simulation. Machine Learning Potentials (MLPs) provide a new route to efficient, high fidelity calculations for complex systems. The panel will discuss the current state of the art and ongoing and future developments in MLP technology, highlighting their implications for engineering-scale materials and process simulation.

The interactive panel session will be open to all registered UGM attendees and will be held live at one time worldwide on October 26. The recorded discussion will then be available to meeting attendees online - though the recording will of course be non-interactive.

Register to view

Professor Gus Hart
Professor

Gus Hart studies and teaches materials physics to help change the world by inventing algorithms for discovering the materials of tomorrow

Professor William Curtin
Full Professor

The major theme of Professor Curtin's research is modeling of mechanical behavior of materials, with special emphases on fracture and multiscale modeling

Erich Wimmer
Chief Scientific Officer

Erich Wimmer received his doctoral degree from the Technical University in Vienna, Austria. As a post-doctoral fellow in the group of Professor A. J. Freeman at Northwestern University, Erich was instrumental in the development of the original FLAPW method. Prior to co-founding Materials Design, Erich managed software development and led teams at CRAY Research and BIOSYM Technologies.

Clint Geller
Senior Advisor Scientist

Dr. Clint Geller joined Materials Design, Inc. in June of 2020. He is a recently retired Senior Advisor Scientist (previously called “Advisory Scientist”) with the Naval Nuclear Laboratory (Bettis site, near Pittsburgh), where he was employed for over 40 years.

Volker Eyert
Senior Scientist

With his strong background in ab initio methods and code development, Dr. Eyert works on a large range of materials classes including transition-metal chalcogenides with extraordinary cooperative phenomena such as metal-insulator transitions and magnetic instabilities.

Clive Freeman
CEO and President
