Research Summary

There are various scientific issues in the research and development of materials that experiments, measurements, or conventional theoretical calculations alone cannot solve. Our team is developing various new methods to solve these issues, including advanced material simulation methods with high prediction capabilities based on the fundamental laws of physics, data science, AI methods that accelerate prediction, and data assimilation methods for experiments/measurements and simulations. Through this, we aim to achieve a materials science digital twin based on scientific simulations to accelerate materials research.
