Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionize as well as to significantly accelerate research, development and innovation in materials and materials-related manufacturing. The application of AI to Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) is a highly interdisciplinary endeavor and a rapidly growing field that has already achieved significant progress.

After a brief introduction to the history of AI and machine learning (ML) and covering some AI/ML basics, this course provides an overview of the diverse application fields in MSE. Topics covered, amongst others, include materials discovery & design, ML for materials and microstructure characterization, predictive maintenance, and surrogate models. In doing so, the value-added that can be generated by AI/ML will be elaborated, but at the same time the challenges that still await us in the application of AI/ML in MSE will be presented.
