Call for Papers

Please contact the symposium organizers with questions.

Multiscale methods have been widely used in material studies, allowing us to gain insights into material behaviors at quantum, atomistic, micro-, meso- and macro-scales. The recent developments in data-driven methods, such as machine learning and artificial intelligence, and their integration with multiscale approaches are creating new research opportunities. Data-driven multiscale studies of materials have shown promising results in developing interatomic potentials for atomistic modeling, designing new materials, discovering new constitutive laws, identifying processing-structure-performance correlations, and analyzing microscopy images, among many others. In this symposium, we will include the new developments of data-driven methods in computational and experimental studies of materials, the data-driven studies crossing different scales, the studies bridging computations and experiments, and the new understandings of material behaviors enabled by the data-driven multiscale methods. This symposium will bring together researchers from a broad spectrum of disciplines with a data- or multiscale-relevant component in their research to exchange research progress and inspire new research ideas.

Topics will include:

• Data-driven design of new materials
• Data-driven characterization of materials
• Data-driven identification of constitutive relations
• Process-structure-performance correlations
• The development of new data-driven methods for material studies
• Machine-learning potentials for atomistic simulations
• Model-order reduction in multiscale computations
• Uncertainty quantifications in multiscale computations
• Scale-bridging methods for material studies
