ICAMS Research Group

Materials Informatics and Data Science

Key elements of the group’s work are the application of statistical and machine learning methods as well as data science approaches to materials science problems, mostly based on simulated data. With this focus, the research group strengthens and extends the “informatics” activities at ICAMS.

Research

Applications of these methods focus on bridging between simulation methods like atom-continuum or mesoscale-continuum and connecting knowledge from simulations to experiments.

Bridging the scale: Atoms, microstructures, properties.

Current materials science research questions are related to plasticity of crystalline materials. In the past and present, this has included mechanical aspects of tribological contacts, strain hardening and dislocation multiplication, dislocation grain boundary interaction, development of interatomic potentials to assess energetics and dynamics of crystalline defects on the atomic level, and data fusion from simulation and experiment to understand and quantify observed material behavior from simulations and experiments. Research questions on the methodical side revolve around appropriate data formats, standardization and representation of information.
