Department / Organization: Materials Science
Wednesday, February 22: "Scientific Discovery at the Nexus of Information Science and Materials Science" presented by Dr. Krishna Rajan. Reception to follow.
Join us in welcoming the Mines/NREL Materials Science Distinguished Lecturer, Dr. Krishna Rajan! Dr. Rajan will be presenting "Scientific Discovery at the Nexus of Information Science and Materials Science."
5 p.m. Wednesday, February 22 , Student Center Ballroom A • 6 p.m. reception
Abstract: This presentation will provide an overview of how the tools of information science when harnessed with experimental and computational materials science, provides pathways for new discoveries that significantly advance the structure-property paradigm in materials design. The field of ‘Materials Informatics” lies at this intersection between the science of materials and the science of information. In this talk we shall provide a few examples of how we use Materials Informatics to address materials science issues which impact the area of energy related applications, including high temperature alloy design and catalysis chemistry. This presentation will also introduce the vision of the newly established Department of Materials Design and Innovation (MDI) at the University of Buffalo-SUNY. The MDI aims to introduce a new paradigm for materials science education and research that educates individuals to have intellectual fluency in both information science and materials science.
