Institute for Computational and Data Sciences
AI-Powered Materials Seminar Series - April 28
11:00 AM - 1:00 PM / April 28, 2026
The Penn State Institute for Computational and Data Sciences (ICDS) is hosting the AI-Powered Materials Seminar Series, a three-part series that will take place on Tuesday, April 28, and Friday, May 1, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in Pollock Dining Commons, Room 204. Lunch is provided.
These seminars aim to bring together Penn State faculty, students and staff members with expertise in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) who seek to collaborate on materials research problems.
Penn State faculty members will present different types of materials research problems at each seminar event. The goal of this series is to pair the presenters with at least one collaborator by the end of the series.
April 28 presenters include:
-
Linxiao Zhu, assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, presenting "Opportunities for AI-driven design of photonic materials for energy and sensing."
-
Darren Pagan, assistant professor or materials science and engineering and of mechanical engineering, presenting "AI/ML Opportunity in Materials: Identifying Rare Events to Predict Material Properties and Failure."
Registration is required to attend. Registration can be done via this Google Form.
