Cloud-Based Platform To Accelerate Advanced Materials Development
Purdue University has secured a $19 million grant from the National Science Foundation to develop an AI-driven, cloud-based lab for designing advanced materials and manufacturing processes. The Intelligent Codesign Cloud Lab will provide access to physical labs, simulations, and AI tools for a national community of remote users, aiming to accelerate the discovery and deployment of next-generation materials for electronics, energy, aerospace, and defense applications. The project is led by Alejandro Strachan, a Reilly Professor of Materials Engineering at Purdue, and is part of the NSF’s Test Bed program. This development was first reported by Unknown Source.
