Digital Materials CDT, with the Henry Royce Institute

The EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Developing National Capability for Materials 4.0 aims to maximise the value of materials data and link the digital with the physical via cyber-physical systems for prediction, classification, and control of material performance. To help realise the potential of Materials 4.0, we need scientists and engineers skilled in all aspects of digital materials science. Globally, companies are racing to adopt a materials informatics framework, combining capabilities from risk management, materials modelling, artificial intelligence/machine learning, manufacturing informatics, and life-cycle simulation. Our Centre for Doctoral Training will help to address this need, by training 70+ PhD researchers to become the future leaders in Materials 4.0.
