Department of Materials Processing is focusing our efforts to create innovative materials processing technologies for enhancing the added value of materials and to develop smart manufacturing process for the 4th industrial revolution. In addition, it is contributing to strengthening the competitiveness of the metallic materials and parts industry by introducing and integrating state-of-the-art pilot-scale manufacturing and evaluating equipment, and subsequently by leading the construction of infrastructure hardware platform.

Department of Materials AI & Big-Data focuses on development of digital transformation technologies for innovative materials and processes. To this end, the research at Department of Materials AI & BigData covers artificial intelligence technology, virtual engineering technology, data generation/collection/ analysis/management system.

Department of Computational Materials Science is focusing on design of innovative new materials using computational modeling and materials informatics. Multiscale modeling covering nano-, micro-, and meso-scales is carried out based on various computational techniques of DFT/MD/PFM/CP. A new paradigm of source technology is being developed to support “Carbon neutrality by 2050”.
