Soft Materials Day

The potential for AI and automation to accelerate new material discovery, formula optimization, and product characterization is significant, but soft materials present unique challenges to realizing that potential. Join us in this cross-disciplinary, cross-university symposium to explore these challenges and uncover opportunities for foundational research and collaboration. Attendees to this year’s symposium will receive the latest information on facilities and activities at CMU in the area of AI and Automation for soft materials research, as well as engage with leaders in the field who will give talks on the opportunities and challenges in this growing area. The symposium will also feature industry-academia breakout sessions on strategies to overcome challenges presented by the process dependence and nonlinear response behavior of soft materials.
