Workshop on Artificial Intelligence Applied to Materials Discovery and Design

August 9 – 10, 2017

The Advanced Manufacturing Office (AMO) hosted a workshop on Artificial Intelligence Applied to Materials Discovery and Design in Pittsburgh, PA on August 9-10, 2017. DOE invited experts from academia, national labs, federal agencies, and industry across several critical scientific disciplines. The workshop was designed to gather information on future capabilities, challenges, and barriers to advancing AI applied to materials discovery and design; barriers to more widespread adoption of the technology by industry; and the role the federal government should play in advancing the technology.

Over the course of the two day workshop, attendees contributed their ideas through participation in one of three Breakout sessions: Data Quantity and Quality; Platforms and Infrastructure; and AI for Materials Design in Specific Applications. At the end of the workshop, participants were also given an opportunity to suggest potential collaboration and partnership opportunities as well as related multidisciplinary education and training needs that should be addressed to ensure U.S. competitiveness.
