Team of PennState researchers, led by Dr. Liu, received a $1.2 million ARPA-E grant as part of $16 million in funding recently awarded for 17 projects through ARPA-E’s Ultrahigh Temperature Impervious Materials Advancing Turbine Efficiency (ULTIMATE) program. ULTIMATE teams will develop ultrahigh temperature materials for gas turbine use in the aviation and power generation industries.
Our team will generate alloy property data using high-throughput computational and machine learning models to design ultrahigh-temperature refractory alloys employing a neural network inverse design approach, where the needed functionality and property are specified first, followed by identification of the materials that exhibit the desired properties.
