Join our IOP–AIchemy co-sponsored mini-symposium on machine learning for experimental materials data. This event will unite experimentalists and computational scientists to identify shared challenges, exchange practical solutions, and showcase how ML accelerates analysis across scattering, microscopy, tomography, and spectroscopy; driving faster, more insightful materials discovery.

This event is open to everyone, whatever your background — whether you’re a practising physicist or simply curious to explore the subject.

Speakers:

  • Sam Cooper, Imperial College London
  • Kim Jelfs, Imperial College London
  • Andrew McClusky, University of Bristol
  • Dylan Owen, University of Birmingham
  • Rob Palgrave, University College London
  • Shijing Sun, University of Cambridge
  • Sarah Haigh, University of Manchester
  • Shelley Conroy, Imperial College London
