Materials Informatics
In the current society, it is essential in all fields to appropriately exploit “big data” for finding rules and/or making predictions/decisions. This course gives fundamental knowledges and basic skills for handling large-scale data sets with the aid of computers.
This course aims to (1) teach foundations of statistics and computation for processing and analyzing a given data set, and (2) help students to understand and apply various computer software tools for data analysis to get new findings.
In each week we give a lecture and an exercise session.

Note1 : Materials Informatics (XMC.A404) offered by the School of Materials and Chemical Technology are recommended courses to be taken as major courses in the standard curriculum of the following Graduate Majors: Physics, Chemistry, Mechanical Engineering, Systems and Control Engineering, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, Chemical Science and Engineering, Computer Science, Life Science and Technology, Global Engineering for Development, Environment and Society, Energy Science and Engineering, Energy Science and Informatics, Engineering Sciences and Design, Human Centered Science and Biomedical Engineering, Science and Technology for Health Care and Medicine, Nuclear Engineering and Artificial Intelligence. The courses taken as such can be counted towards completion requirements for this educational program.
Note2 : “Fundamentals of data science (XCO.T487)” and “Exercises in fundamentals of data science (XCO.T488)” in the DSAI program are equivalent to “Materials Informatics (XMC.A404).” Additionally, “Fundamentals of Progressive Data Science (XCO.T677)” and “Exercises in Fundamentals of Progressive Data Science (XCO.T678)” in the DSAI program are equivalent to “Progressive Materials Informatics (MIS.A603).” These credits are compatible with each other.
Note3 : Students who were unable to take the “Materials Informatics” course offered by the School of Materials and Chemical Technology during the master’s program must take “Progressive Informatics, MIS.A603” in the doctoral program.
