Artificial intelligence’s (AI) visual capabilities extend past those of the human eye. This makes AI a powerful tool for detection. Dr. Ridwan Sakidja, CNAS, and Dr. Sheryl Brahnam, COB, want to see AI used in many new ways. About their research Sakidja and Brahnam propose using machine learning (ML) to examine materials for defects. This includes composites or … [Read more...] about Artificial intelligence offers real promise for cross-disciplinary research
Dr. Ridwan Sakidja, professor of physics, recently presented at the Worlds Congress on High Entropy Alloys (HEA 2019) in Seattle, Washington. About the conference High entropy alloys is a newer field that is rapidly expanding. Scientists mix many elements together so it generates unique features that can’t be achieved in conventional materials. “Our work and my talk were … [Read more...] about Professor attends conference, creates research collaboration
