<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">One of the great things about the course is that we typically have a broad range of participants from diverse backgrounds from graduate students, postdocs, researchers</span>, entrepreneurs,<span style="color:black">
to clinicians. The style of the course is a one-week boot camp to learn the basics of multiscale modeling
</span>and experimentation <span style="color:black">along with several lab sessions and a strong focus on real-world applications. Please consider attending and/or pass to potentially interested individuals.
</span>We<span style="color:black"> will cover </span>several exciting directions in materials research,
<span style="color:black">including lectures about machine learning and artificial intelligence, expanded the lab sessions to cover
</span>various additive manufacturing methods such as 3D<span style="color:black"> printing, as well as computer labs. </span>The course is<span style="color:black"> a great learning experience for people interested in multiscale materials modeling, design
and manufacturing</span>, or if you’d like to expand your experience at MIT<span style="color:black">. </span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Computational methods including AI are revolutionizing the materials design world. Today, an engineer or scientist can simply enter the desired properties into a program and the system will manufacture a microstructure that matches the
specifications. Algorithms predict which chemical building blocks at the nanoscale can be combined to create advanced materials with superior functions — from ultra-strong, lightweight materials used in the automotive, construction and aerospace industries,
to biomaterials used in implants and biomedical devices with the ability to self-heal and regenerate. Participants will spend a week at MIT and immerse themselves in interactive lectures, labs and networking with other participants.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The goal of this new approach is to construct, in a bottom-up manner, atomically-precise products through the use of molecular design and manufacturing, allowing the fabrication a vast array of designs.<o:p></o:p></p>
