Lecture Abstract:
Data driven approaches, such a statistics, information theory, pattern recognition and machine learning can serve as powerful tools for uncovering structure-property relationships in materials. In this talk we review examples where informatics methods have advanced discoveries through materials modeling and characterization.  The talk also provides a discussion of the future needs and challenges where materials informatics can significantly accelerate device development and manufacturing.

Biography:
Professor Krishna Rajan is SUNY Distinguished Professor and the inaugural Erich Bloch Chair of the Department of Materials Design and Innovation at the University at Buffalo: the State University of New York– a position he assumed in the summer of 2015 to form this new department.  Professor Rajan is the leading proponent of the field of Materials Informatics. His research is on the application of information science and data intensive methodologies for the discovery, characterization and modeling of materials. He has received numerous awards and recognitions, including the Alexander von Humboldt Award from Germany, the CSIRO Distinguished Visiting Scientist Award- Australia, the CNRS Visiting Professorship from France and the Presidential Lecture Award from the National Institute of Materials Science of Japan. Dr. Rajan is presently a member of the Science and Technology Experts Group for the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine. He received his undergraduate education at the University of Toronto and a doctorate from MIT followed by a postdoctoral appointment at Cambridge University; all in materials science.  Krishna also has a UCLA  connection (through his father) and spent a few of his childhood years in Westwood !
