This course aims to provide a succinct overview of the emerging discipline of Materials Informatics at the intersection of materials science, computational science, and information science. Attention is drawn to specific opportunities afforded by this new field in accelerating materials development and deployment efforts. A particular emphasis is placed on materials exhibiting hierarchical internal structures spanning multiple length/structure scales and the impediments involved in establishing invertible process-structure-property (PSP) linkages for these materials. More specifically, it is argued that modern data sciences (including advanced statistics, dimensionality reduction, and formulation of metamodels) and innovative cyberinfrastructure tools (including integration platforms, databases, and customized tools for enhancement of collaborations among cross-disciplinary team members) are likely to play a critical and pivotal role in addressing the above challenges.

TOP REVIEWS FROM MATERIALS DATA SCIENCES AND INFORMATICS
Great initiative of creating this course! If you're curious about the idea of combining materials science and data science, this course is for you. Enjoy!
The course was overall good but some of the course content is outdated (installing PyMKS) please look into this matter.
Skills on the Data Sciences can be applied to other areas of studies
It is a great way to combine both the branches, Material sciences, and data science. I completely loved this certification. Looking forward to learning more.
