A Third DMMI Workshop Series: Workshop on Data Analytics and What it Means to the Materials Community

Completed

Topics

How can researchers use informatics to solve key challenges in materials science, and how can new data science methods help guide future efforts? Experiments, observations, and simulations across all fields of academic and industrial research are generating terabytes of data and beyond. This data has played a critical role in breakthroughs ranging from genomics to high-energy physics.During the workshop, participants discuss how researchers analyzing big data sets can discover unexpected correlations, and how these insights might be applied to other work in materials research.

Description

Workshop description:
Data Analytics and What it Means to the Materials Community
Two questions and the related issues in data analytics will be discussed in this workshop. One of the questions that has become obvious is: To what extent today can one use informatics for materials research challenges and discover unexpected correlations by analyzing huge data sets to find relationships that were not anticipated? The other question is how could these insights help to guide experimentation in future materials research efforts? These, and related questions will be discussed in this workshop.
Overall Project Statement of Task:
Five ad hoc committees will convene a series of five 2-day public workshops to discuss issues in defense materials and manufacturing. The topics to be discussed in these workshops are the following:

  1. Domestic Manufacturing Capabilities for Critical DoD Applications: Emerging Needs in Quantum-Enabled Systems;
  2. What Does Quantum Computing Bring to New Materials Design;
  3. Topology Optimization in Design: Exploiting Advanced Manufacturing;
  4. Data Analytics and What it Means to the Materials Community; and
  5. What's next after Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS).

For the ad hoc committee for each workshop, the Defense Materials, Manufacturing, and Infrastructure (DMMI) standing committee will contribute its most suitable members for that topic, with the ad hoc committee's membership to be supplemented to provide the necessary expertise to plan and conduct the workshop. Each ad hoc committee will then develop the agenda for the workshop, select and invite speakers and discussants, and moderate the discussions. The workshops will use a mix of individual presentations, panels, and question-and-answer sessions to develop an understanding of the relevant issues. The workshop will highlight some recent developments in applicable research fields. Key stakeholders will be identified and invited to participate. Workshop summaries will be prepared separately by a designated rapporteur after each workshop in this series.
