DESCRIPTION:~~ Mechanical and Industrial Engineering Research Seminar Serie
 s Presents\n\nDr. James A. Warren \n\nTechnical Director for Materials Gen
 omics\, Materials Measurement Laboratory of NIST\n\nTopic: The Materials G
 enome Initiative\, Data\, and Open Science. \n\nDate: Tuesday\, April 8th\
 , 2014 \n\nTime: 4:00pm to 5:00pm (Refreshments will be served) \n\nLocati
 on: 435 Curry Student Center \n\n \n\nAbstract: In this talk I will presen
 t an overview of the Materials Genome Initiative\, covering the current an
 d planned efforts across the Federal government. After an overview where I
  will provide insight into community-led activities\, I will discuss our a
 ttempts at NIST to address some of challenges to creating the materials in
 novation infrastructure that lies at the heart of the Materials Genome Ini
 tiative. In particular NIST is now devoting considerable effort\, in conce
 rt with its partners in industry\, academia and government\, to develop th
 e tools\, standards and techniques for (i) establishing model and data exc
 hange infrastructure (ii) establishing best practices and new methods for 
 ensuring data and model quality and (iii) developing the Big Data analytic
 s to enable "data driven" materials science. To properly address these pro
 blems involves a deeper examination of the nature of materials data than i
 s typical. In particular\, the essential linkage between models and measur
 ements implies that many of the conceptual challenges with materials data 
 can be most efficiently resolved using methods that address the role of ma
 terials models as the core concept of the scientific method. This insight\
 , and associated examinations of the manner in which we collect and dissem
 inate data are the keys to overcoming the impediments to a materials innov
 ation infrastructure.\n\n \n\nBiography: Dr. James A. Warren is the Techni
 cal Director for Materials Genomics in the Materials Measurement Laborator
 y of NIST. His aspirations of an academic physicist’s career took a turn
  in 1992 when he received an NRC post-doctoral appointment at NIST. He cam
 e to the Metallurgy Division after receiving his Ph.D. in Theoretical Phys
 ics at the University of California\, Santa Barbara\, which was preceded b
 y an A.B. (also in Physics) from Dartmouth College. In 1995\, with three o
 ther junior NIST staff members\, he co-founded the NIST Center for Theoret
 ical and Computational Materials Science\, which he has directed since 200
 1. From 2005-2013 he was the Leader of the Thermodynamics and Kinetics Gro
 up. His research has been broadly concerned with developing both models of
  materials phenomena\, and the tools to enable the solution of these model
 s. Specific foci over the years has included solidification\, pattern form
 ation\, grain structures\, creep\, diffusion\, wetting\, and spreading in 
 metals. In 2010-11\, Dr. Warren was part of the ad hoc committee within th
 e National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) that crafted the founding
  whitepaper on the Administration’s Materials Genome Initiative (MGI)\, 
 and has served as the Executive Secretary of the NSTC MGI Subcommittee sin
 ce 2012.
