| Abstract Scope |
Artificial intelligence and machine learning are increasingly enabling materials design workflows that move beyond forward prediction toward decision-making. In this talk, we will describe our efforts to integrate AI into the Artificial Intelligence for Materials Design Laboratory at JHU as a foundation for closed-loop discovery of structural materials. The workflow links phase prediction, quasi-static strength prediction, and spall strength prediction with high-throughput experimentation and uncertainty-aware modeling. Rather than using AI only to predict properties, we use model uncertainty to support active learning, prioritize the next most informative experiments, and guide decisions across composition, microstructure, and properties. This approach moves the laboratory from trial-and-error exploration toward AI-guided experimental planning. The presentation will highlight how integrated data infrastructure, physics-informed machine learning, uncertainty quantification, and high-throughput validation can help build the foundations for future autonomous materials discovery in demanding environments. |
