Materials Informatics Solutions for Accelerated Discovery and Innovation
We partner with R&D leaders to build bespoke AI/ML and materials informatics solutions that drastically reduce development cycles, optimize processes, and enable certifiable predictions for advanced materials.
Innovation in Materials R&D
Companies that synthesize, formulate, process, and integrate advanced materials and chemicals into their products are facing heightened innovation pressures — and opportunities. Historically high-margin specialty products are becoming more commoditized, and the race is on for companies to differentiate themselves in existing markets and establish a leading presence in new emerging markets.
Industry success now more than ever is being dictated by the ability to continuously develop and/or leverage innovative new materials and chemicals. To find success, companies are actively investing in Materials Informatics.
What is Materials Informatics?
Materials Informatics (MI) is the application of data science, AI and machine learning, and materials science and chemistry to accelerate the discovery, design, and development of new materials. It leverages real-world and synthetic datasets, computational models, and algorithms to identify patterns and predict the properties of materials, enabling researchers to uncover novel insights more quickly than traditional trial-and-error methods. MI significantly reduces time and cost in materials R&D by providing actionable insights that can guide experiments and innovation.
