Program
More About Program Overview
Accelerate is designed to showcase the latest methods, applications and research in accelerated materials and molecular discovery. Through workshops and talks, posters and small group sessions, attendees will explore topics across our three content tracks:
- Fundamental discovery and leading-edge tools: Deep and machine learning algorithms for AI-aided experimental design, quantum-based materials simulations and optimized structure-function models, chemical synthesis and materials characterization, chemical ontologies and materials databases, and robotics and control systems
- Sustainable materials for a resilient world: Development of solid-state materials, sustainable soft materials, low-carbon structural materials, small molecule drugs, etc.
- Designing a translation ecosystem: Leadership in commercialization, training, and education
