This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) provides $330,000.00 in funding to the University of Maryland, College Park to develop an autonomous experimental framework for materials discovery. The key products and services to be delivered under this award include strategies for building smart experimental systems that allow different scientific instruments - such as microscopes, structural characterization tools, and synthesis platforms - to work together autonomously. The project aims to create machine learning agents that can operate multiple experimental tools in parallel, learn from previous results to determine which experiments to run next, and optimize both the speed and insight gained from the research. This work focuses on discovering new materials for energy storage and information technologies, with the potential for significant technological and economic impacts from even small materials improvements. In addition to scientific breakthroughs, the project will share tools and training with students and researchers across institutions to help build an innovation-driven workforce for deep tech industries and manufacturing.
