Description:

Architected materials, or metamaterials, are engineered systems whose macroscopic properties – unattainable in traditional monolithic materials – emerge from the geometric design of their microstructure. Advances in manufacturing techniques and the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) have revolutionized the design, discovery, and fabrication of material systems such as cellular solids, lattices, and architected composites. These technologies enable the creation of materials with tunable, programmable properties, opening doors to unprecedented functionalities. The combination of AI/ML with numerical simulations, fabrication, and characterization methods has dramatically accelerated progress in this field, offering enhanced capabilities for material design and analysis.

This symposium will explore the latest breakthroughs and innovations at the intersection of AI/ML and architected materials, fostering discussions on emerging methods and applications.
