Big-data collection
NLP based database generation from scientific document
As the interest in machine learning increases, the interest in databases for use in machine learning is also increasing. Despite the increasing demand for databases in the material field, there is no clear database to date. Therefore, in this project, we intend to build a database based on research results in the field of materials existing in Internet documents through natural language processing techniques.

HfO2-based FeRAM has been spotlighted as a key material for future semiconductor technologies such as logic-in-memory, neuromorphic computing, and negative capacitance FET, but it is facing difficulties in practical use due to its high coercive field and low domain wall velocity. Therefore, this study aims to understand and investigate the phenomenon related to the movement of domain walls under the electric field of HfO2-based ferroelectric materials at the atomic level through machine learning and molecular dynamics simulation.

Protonic ceramic electrolysis cell is a next-generation hydrogen production system that can be operated at low temperatures and generates pure hydrogen from the fuel electrode. High chemical stability and proton conductivity material design is required as air electrode and electrolyte materials for PCEC. Using first-principle calculations, the mechanisms of proton conduction and water splitting reactions are identified, and doping materials are explored. Based on the first principle calculation data, PCEC materials are optimized in a wide composition space through a material performance prediction machine learning model.

Inorganic cathode materials that are currently commercialized have environmental problems such as large amount of carbon emissions generated during the process and the use of expensive metals such as Co and Ni. Due to these problems, interest in organic-based batteries is increasing. However, in order to use organic-based cathode materials, low power, low energy density problems must be solved. Unlike inorganic materials, organic-based cathode materials have numerous possible combinations, so it is difficult to develop them through experiments. Therefore, we want to search for organic cathode materials with optimal performance through screening based on first-principle calculation and machine learning.

Prediction of polymer properties using machine learning from the composition of various raw materials
Various properties of copolymer generally come from their constituent units (monomer). Several factors including type of units, composition of units, manufacturing conditions can affect properties of copolymer. Traditionally, to achieve desired properties, trial-and-error experiment method have been used but the cost is high because a lot of samples to be prepared to test. In this project, to address the limitations, we predict properties of copolymer through the machine learning models. Experimental dataset comprised of over 350 features is used for training data. Based on the models, we aim to find out suitable materials and their optimized compositions for desired products.

Alloy plating is used to prevent corrosion of steel construction materials, but it has limited lifespan under harsh environments. Through a machine learning model developed from alloy plated steel corrosion images and experimental environment data, we predict lifespan of construction materials in real marine and soil environments.
