This $148,554 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) aims to develop an open-source, high-fidelity materials database for quantum materials. The key products and services to be delivered are:

  1. Implementation of high-throughput algorithms using modern quantum many-body methods, including a combination of Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Dynamical Mean Field Theory (DMFT), to build a new high-fidelity database of quantum materials properties. This will address limitations of existing materials databases that rely solely on DFT.

  2. Use of artificial intelligence tools, such as transfer learning, to enhance the accuracy of large-scale DFT-based materials databases by leveraging the new high-fidelity DFT+DMFT database.

  3. Creation of freely available infrastructure and tutorials to ensure accessibility of the new databases to the broader scientific community.

The three-year project runs from September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2026 and is being conducted by the West Virginia University Research Corporation, a non-profit subsidiary of the 1862 Land Grant university. No subawards are planned under this grant.
