Dear Colleagues:

Attached and below is information on a short course I will be offering at MIT this summer that covers "Multiscale Materials Design" (http://professional.mit.edu/programs/short-programs/multiscale-materials-design).

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 to clinicians. The style of the course is a one-week boot camp to learn the basics of multiscale modeling along with several lab sessions and a strong focus on real-world applications. Please consider attending and/or pass to potentially interested individuals. This year, we will cover several new elements, including lectures about machine learning and artificial intelligence, expanded the lab sessions to cover 3D printing, as well as computer labs.  It's a great learning experience for people interested in multiscale materials modeling, structures, design and manufacturing.

MIT postdocs and staff can attend for free using the Tuition Assistance Program and they'll earn an MIT certificate!  It's a very fun course and it gets very high ratings from participants every year.

Best wishes,
Markus Buehler
McAfee Professor of Engineering, MIT

MIT Summer Short Course "Multiscale Materials Design" - June 11-15, 2018 in Cambridge, MA

This course covers the science, technology, and state-of-the-art in atomistic, molecular, and multiscale modeling, material synthesis and manufacturing, as well as characterization, using a "materiomics" approach. Through lectures and hands-on labs, participants will learn how superior material properties in nature and biology can be mimicked in bioinspired materials for applications in new technology through a multi-hierarchy material structuring technology. Bridging multiple levels of length- and time-scales, this course trains participants in the fundamentals and applications to polymers, metals and ceramics, composites and sustainable infrastructure materials, energy technology, as well as biomedical applications. The use of manufacturing techniques involving multi-material 3-D printing plays an important role in lectures and labs. We will cover several new elements this year, including lectures about machine learning and artificial intelligence, expanded the lab sessions to cover 3D printing, as well as computer labs.

Participants learn 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.

The course will be taught to be accessible for a broad audience with diverse backgrounds. No prerequisites. Participants will earn an MIT certificate.

Dates: June 11-15, 2018. This course has limited enrollment. Apply early to guarantee your spot.

Meeting Location:  Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Cambridge, MA

As the demand for high-performance materials with superior properties, flexibility and resilience grows, a new design paradigm from the molecular scale upwards has revolutionized our ability to create novel materials, and is being fueled by transformative progress in additive manufacturing that allows us to move from a computer model to physical product. This course covers the science, technology, and state-of-the-art in atomistic, molecular, and multiscale modeling, synthesis, and characterization, as well as a variety of manufacturing methods to control structure of materials from the molecular to the macroscale, within the framework of materiomics. The course introduces a variety of computational tools that range from multiscale modeling to the use of machine learning and artificial intelligence in materials design and how can be coupled to manufacturing methods.

Through lectures and hands-on labs, participants will learn how superior material properties in nature and biology can be mimicked in bioinspired materials for applications in new technology. Bridging vast hierarchies of length- and time-scales, this course trains participants in applications to polymers, metals, ceramics as well as composites and sustainable construction materials. 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.
