High throughput experimentation and combinatorial techniques have become an active area of interest for the materials and chemical industry.

The application of artificial intelligence and big data analytics when coupled with advanced sensing, measurement, visualization and process control hardware are proving transformative. Tasks that before seemed only accessible to highly trained specialists are now routinely performed in an automated way. These techniques are leading to faster, safer and more efficient processes in virtually all industrial fields. The potential gains are multifaceted with implications for speed of material discovery, design, development and deployment.

This workshop will survey the current state of the art of high throughput research for materials discovery. This workshop will hear from lead users who will share their perspectives on what’s required for commercial success, as well as identify current challenges, gaps and needs. Expert panels will then share emerging capabilities and their future potential for the field.
