欧州の研究者をお招きして「第16回マテリアル探索自動化・自律化人材育成セミナー」を開催しました

BOSS builds N-dimensional surrogate models for materials’ energy or property landscapes to infer global optima, allowing us to conduct targeted materials engineering. The models are iteratively refined by sequentially sampling materials data with high information content. This creates compact and informative datasets. We utilised this approach for computational density functional theory studies of molecular surface adsorbates [2], thin film growth [3], solid-solid interfaces [4] and molecular conformers [5]. With experimental colleagues, we applied BOSS to accelerate the development of novel materials with targeted properties, and to optimise materials processing [7]. With recent multi-objective and multi-fidelity implementations for active learning, BOSS can make use of different information sources to help us discover optimal solutions faster in both academic and industrial settings.
