This $700,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support The Johns Hopkins University's research on amorphous metal additive manufacturing. The project aims to develop simulation-informed models and computational tools to enable design of additively manufactured amorphous metals with desired strength and toughness properties. This will involve using machine learning to quantify structural order parameters from electron nanodiffraction and atomistic simulation data, and building continuum numerical models to capture how processing impacts the resulting materials' mechanical performance. The research will be validated through direct comparison to experimental mechanical testing. Concurrently, the project will create a learning community to support graduate student professional development in online communication and engaging diverse audiences. This work supports national priorities in advanced manufacturing and workforce development at the intersection of materials science, mathematical methods, and data science.
