Materials 4.0 aims to maximise the value of materials data and link the digital with the physical via cyber-physical systems for prediction, classification, and control of material performance.
To help realise the potential of Materials 4.0, we need scientists and engineers skilled in all aspects of digital materials science. Globally, companies are racing to adopt a materials informatics framework, combining capabilities from risk management, materials modelling, artificial intelligence/machine learning, manufacturing informatics, and life-cycle simulation. Our Centre for Doctoral Training will help to address this need, by training 70+ PhD researchers to become the future leaders in Materials 4.0.
Core Partners
Industry Partnerships
Industry partners will also provide opportunities for student placements and enable access to facilities and material samples for student research.
Partner domains range from energy production to advanced metallurgy, to semiconductor innovation and beyond. They also include software development companies and data science for materials organisations, as well as instrument manufacturers.
