Virtual LANS Seminar
January 27, 2021 @ 10:30 - 11:30 CST
Seminar Title: Pores for Thought: Designing Electrodes with Machine Learning and Sorcery
Speaker: Samuel Cooper, Senior Lecturer, Dyson School of Design Engineering, Imperial College London
Date/Time: January 27, 2021 / 10:30 AM – 11:30 AM
Location: See meeting URL on the cels-seminars website (requires Argonne login)
Description: The performance of batteries and fuel cells depends on the morphology of their porous electrodes. Characterization of these structures is hard enough, but then using this information to inform improved designs harder still. In this talk I will start by giving an overview of the work going on in the battery space both at Imperial College and the UK more broadly. Then I will describe in detail a few of the projects currently being pursued by my team, including the application of deep convolutional (and now conditional) generative adversarial networks (see figure) to explore the space of possible microstructures.
