Lecture Title: Bridging the Gap Between Materials Science and AI

Lecturer: Miho Hatanaka, Associate Professor, Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science and Technology, Keio University

In 2011, the Obama Administration launched the U.S. Materials Genome Initiative (MGI), sparking a range of research initiatives in Materials Informatics, the interdisciplinary field of study which integrates AI into materials discovery. Yet, more than a decade later, the integration of AI into the materials chemistry industry has not progressed as originally anticipated, largely due to difficulties in public data disclosure.

In this lecture, the speaker will present the strategies she has developed to bridge the gap between materials chemistry and AI within the materials chemistry industry, where data sharing remains particularly challenging.
