Better models, smarter materials: Computational materials design in an era of artificial intelligence

Artificial intelligence is transforming physics – and in a very exciting way. In computational materials research, AI allows us to map structures from the atomic level onwards with unprecedented speed and accuracy. This gives us deeper insight into how atoms interact and how we can harness these interactions to create materials with entirely new and useful properties. In this lecture, we’ll explore how AI makes it possible to accurately describe highly disordered, realistic materials that were previously too complex to model. We’ll also demonstrate how AI can serve as a compass, enabling the prediction of which hypothetical materials have the greatest potential for specific applications. Through these examples, you’ll see how AI is rapidly becoming an essential tool in computational materials science, directly shaping our understanding and design of the materials of tomorrow.

The speaker of the evening is Sven Rogge, professor at the Centre for Molecular Modelling. The lecture is given in English.
