About the Course

This course aims to provide a succinct overview of the emerging discipline of Materials Informatics at the intersection of materials science, computational science, and information science. Attention is drawn to specific opportunities afforded by this new field in accelerating materials development and deployment efforts. A particular emphasis is placed on materials exhibiting hierarchical internal structures spanning multiple length/structure scales and the impediments involved in establishing invertible process-structure-property (PSP) linkages for these materials. More specifically, it is argued that modern data sciences (including advanced statistics, dimensionality reduction, and formulation of metamodels) and innovative cyberinfrastructure tools (including integration platforms, databases, and customized tools for enhancement of collaborations among cross-disciplinary team members) are likely to play a critical and pivotal role in addressing the above challenges....

Machine learning part and its application to material science was interesting but informative contents like material dev eco system and whole week 1 was more informative than logical

Too much introduction, not much actual useful stuff. Too much mathematically without well illustrated examples.

I think it's wonderful course, but I did not have enough real practical skills from it (in my opinion). Thank you very much to the instructors for this course!

Useful introduction to vocabulary and concepts in the field, but can't help but feel the pacing and scope of the course takes an abrupt switch at times.

This is a great starter course for materials informatics. It covers a good amount of topics and uses a nice case study to reinforce digital representation of data, spatial correlations, principal component analysis, and regression. I really liked the examples of pyMKS. My only suggestions is it would have been nice to have more hands-ons use of pyMKS and sci-kit learn. This could have been accomplished through a course project or homeworks.

Excellent course if you are looking to understand how to design high performance materials leveraging current advances in data sciences.

Very well delivered by Dr. Surya Kalidindi and Prof McDowell. Reference to the book on the subject by Dr. Kalidindi supplemented by web search was useful.

Need to put the new skills acquired, in practice at work, where I see a huge potential.

Thanks Georgia Tech!!

Very valuable course for materials modelling enthusiast. It provides me the firm grounding and preparation for my future research work in this material modeling. This course is a fine balance of technical knowledge, its implementation and the practical approaches one needs to adopt to effectively use this knowledge of materials modeling in real world.

Very informative course. Cover many concepts of data science as well as the Material design field.

I would recommend this course to the people who want to stay in their core field while utilizing modern-day techniques such as machine learning and data science in their work.

The course has been very helpful in forming a basic understanding of data sciences application in Materials Engineering. Also it motivated me to explore even more, study and adopt these skills in my research.

In my opinion, a few more lectures on PyMKS applications in the last week would be of more help.

I strongly recommend setting up an advanced followup of this course with deeper analysis and some hands-on practice.

My heartfelt thanks to Prof. Kalidindi for this initiative.

I am in the process of transitioning from a purely design position to a professional materials engineer for a 3D house printing company. This course was a great fundamental introduction to materials processing history all the way to current high-end cyberinfrastructure like e-collaborative data pipelines, open-source machine learning libraries in python used to make cutting edge material breakthroughs today.

This course is very informative and relevant for Material Engineering students like me to incorporate Data Science and modern technology to speed up research on the discovery of new materials. This course has also provided useful computational tools such as Pymks. Pymks enable use to compute the 2 point spatial correlation and visualization does help in the analysis of the material's structure properties.

Thanks a lot for this clear and efficient MOOC! I look forward to learning more about the topic. I'll try to find time to read the examples on the pymks web site. Thanks Mr Kalidindi and all the staff!

Best Regards!
