This National Science Foundation (NSF) award under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences grant program (CFDA 47.049) provides $149,354 over three years (09/01/2024 - 08/31/2027) to develop open-source software tools for analyzing atomic structures in atomistic simulations. The project aims to create four key software packages: (1) an analyzer tool to apply machine learning-based atomic structure classifiers, (2) a machine learning tool to train and test classifiers, (3) a campaign manager to coordinate computing resources, and (4) a web portal for users to request custom classifier training. The software framework will initially focus on classifying crystalline point defects, with the goal of extending it to other atomic structures in the future. The project involves collaboration with the industrial partner OVITO GmbH to enable integration with their widely used atomistic simulation analysis software.
