MATDAT18 was an NSF-funded “hackathon” in which teams, each composed of both materials (“mat”) researchers and data (“dat”) scientists, will worked together to apply advanced data science methods to address important, challenging problems in materials science and engineering. Twelve teams researched problems spanning brain aneurysms to renewable energy.
The hackathon sparked new collaborations in which important, challenging problems in materials science are addressed in novel ways by leading methods in data science. For more information, visit https://matdat18.wordpress.ncsu.edu/.
