Exploration and design of materials across the scales

About

New and optimized materials are the key for a sustainable future. These materials are developed more and more in a multidisciplinary context. The paradigm of data-driven materials exploration combines and bundles the insights from different fields, such as chemistry, physics, computer science and engineering.

The new Research Training Group 2868 "Data-Driven Design of resilient meta materials" (D³) aims at realizing a fully digital, data-driven approach to design meta-materials for the sectors of energy, medicine and mobility. Together with the Dresden Center for Materials Science (DCMS) and the Dresden Center for Intelligent Materials (DCIM), we organize this year's joint summer school from Monday August 26th to Thursday August 29th 2024 in Dresden.

Internationally renowned speakers from D³, DCMS, DCIM and from abroad will present their perspectives in a 4-day workshop in the spectrum of data-driven design of materials and structures. The program will be enriched with hands-on training on big-data models, as well as lab visits at our partner institutes and the TU Dresden.

Course aim

On every day, there will be a keynote by an internationally renowned scientist. There will be lectures by the members of the GRK2868 and the the Dresden Center for Intelligent Materials (www.dcim.science/people) about the subjects of the day. They will give a beginner-friendly introduction to their specific methods of their field. In the afternoon, our speakers will give insights into cutting-edge research with contributed talks and hands-on training. On the end of the days, we will visit member institutes in Dresden.
