Multiscale design short course

[Forwarded notice; for questions, please see contact information at bottom of the page]

Dear Postdocs:

Attached and below is information about a short course I will be offering at MIT this summer that covers "Predictive Multiscale Materials Design" (http://professional.mit.edu/programs/short-programs/multiscale-materials-design, June 10-14, 2019).

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, entrepreneurs, to clinicians. The style of the course is a one-week boot camp to learn the basics of multiscale modeling and experimentation along with several lab sessions and a strong focus on real-world applications. Please consider attending and/or pass to potentially interested individuals. We will cover several exciting directions in materials research, including lectures about machine learning and artificial intelligence, expanded the lab sessions to cover various additive manufacturing methods such as 3D printing, as well as computer labs. The course is a great learning experience for people interested in multiscale materials modeling, design and manufacturing, or if you'd like to expand your experience at MIT.

MIT postdoctoral associates and staff can attend for free using the Tuition Assistance Program and you will 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 "Predictive Multiscale Materials Design" - June 10-14, 2019 in Cambridge, MA

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.

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.
