Thursday, May 14, 2026; 1:00–2:00 p.m. Eastern US time
Sponsored by the Electronics Division, the May webinar will feature one speaker: AI-Driven Discovery of Quantum Materials
Description
AI-Driven Discovery of Quantum Materials
This webinar introduces how AI and machine learning are being used to speed up the discovery of quantum materials. Using examples of ceramics and oxides with quantum properties, the talk will discuss how simulations and data-driven approaches help predict material properties and support experimental work. It will also give a practical look at where these tools are useful today, along with some of the challenges and opportunities for students interested in this area.
