Machine Learning To Discover And Optimize Materials, Conrad Waldhar Rosenbrock Dec 2017

Machine Learning To Discover And Optimize Materials, Conrad Waldhar Rosenbrock

Theses and Dissertations

For centuries, scientists have dreamed of creating materials by design. Rather than discovery by accident, bespoke materials could be tailored to fulfill specific technological needs. Quantum theory and computational methods are essentially equal to the task, and computational power is the new bottleneck. Machine learning has the potential to solve that problem by approximating material behavior at multiple length scales. A full end-to-end solution must allow us to approximate the quantum mechanics, microstructure and engineering tasks well enough to be predictive in the real world. In this dissertation, I present algorithms and methodology to address some of these problems at …


Machine Learning With Scattering Transforms, Jacob Hansen, Gus Hart Jun 2017

Machine Learning With Scattering Transforms, Jacob Hansen, Gus Hart

Journal of Undergraduate Research

Our goal was to implement scattering transforms as a mathematical representation of materials. The intention of this project was to build intuition on this technique using model data in one and two dimensions. The tools created here will be used as templates in further projects on real materials data. The intuition built during this project is crucial to the machine learning framework for materials design that we hope to build in the near future.
