Materials Genome Initiative for Global Competitiveness

In June of 2011, President Barack Obama launched the Materials Genome Initiative for Global Competitiveness (MGI) to develop an infrastructure to accelerate advanced materials discovery and deployment in the United States. Creation of an MGI infrastructure will require technological advances in digital data, experimental, and computational tools.  The infrastructure will seamlessly integrate into existing product-design frameworks to enable rapid and holistic engineering design.  This talk will provide an update on Federal investments to stimulate computational capabilities, data management, and an integrated approach to materials science and engineering.
