The Materials Science and Data Technology Nexus mini-symposium is aligned with the CINT 2016 User Meeting,September 19 - 20. You are encouraged to attend the CINT user workshop as well, as your schedule permits.

Conference registration for LANL participants is open in Concur [10613] for the entire event, and is required. Please Note: maximum anticipated expenses in Concur should only include $100 registration fee and one day $10 parking (if parking anticipated). Please go to conferences.newmexicoconsortium.org to register for both the CINT User Meeting and MS/DT Nexus. MS/DT Nexus registration fees will cover the mini-symposium talks, meals and the evening reception on the 21st.

Recent years have witnessed exponential growth in the ability to generate large multidimensional data sets. However, data generation has significantly outpaced the ability to effectively manage, share, analyze, and meaningfully access such data. In this one-day symposium, we will work towards developing a common framework and language that seamlessly bridges the gap between three critical communities:

  1. Scientists and engineers that generate materials-related data by experiment and simulation;
  2. Those who use and validate existing materials data; and
  3. The community that can develop the tools necessary for mining, analyzing, and curating large materials data sets.

We have assembled a team of experts from within LANL and the larger scientific community that will cover these focused topics:

  • Data analytics and image recognition
  • Machine learning
  • Data validation and prediction of new materials (structural, electronic, organic, etc.)
