EXTENDED ABSTRACT: The emergence of artificial intelligence has ushered in a new era of materials science. The integration of materials informatics, simulation and experimentation has created exciting opportunities to solve longstanding problems from materials discovery to functional design and optimization. Toyota has been heavily engaged in the development and utilization of materials informatics for industrial applications in the past several years. In this talk, we will share some examples to demonstrate the success of materials informatics in such an endeavor. We will start with the development of fundamental techniques for automated data collection and data analysis platform. More discussion will be focused on applying materials informatics to solve challenges including material discovery and design. Finally, we will show the capability of artificial intelligence for better materials deployment and monitoring. The talk will be concluded with an industrial perspective for future R&D.
Dr. Chen Ling graduated from Georgia Institute of Technology and joined Toyota Motor North America afterwards. As the senior principal scientist, he is currently leading the materials informatics team to fulfill Toyota's pursue for the next generation of mobility. His research interests lie in applying artificial intelligence in combination with materials experimentation and simulation to explore the materials and device design for batteries, fuel cells, water electrolysis and carbon neutrality, as well as to develop digital solutions for battery deployment, monitoring and recycling. He has published more than 60 peer-reviewed papers and holds more than 35 patents.
