Abstract:
Functional glasses play a critical role in current and developing technologies. New glass compositions have traditionally been designed empirically through trial-and-error experimentation. In this presentation, I will discuss recent advances in the design of new glasses using a combination of modeling techniques at different scales, from detailed physical models at the atomic level through advanced machine learning techniques.  This approach now makes it possible to decode the “glass genome” and enable the accelerated design of optimized glass compositions for production at an industrial scale.
