Bridging Human Expertise, Intelligent Agents and Algorithms for Autonomous Science

This MRS workshop, developed with the Japan Society of Applied Physics, examines how AI can advance autonomous materials research beyond property prediction. Sessions connect physics-informed models, fundamental physical understanding, experimental validation and human–AI collaboration. Particular attention goes to data-efficient learning where experimental datasets are small or difficult to obtain. The online programme runs 4 November, 10:00–13:00, and 5 November, 19:00–22:00, US Eastern Time (EST). Registered participants receive session recordings. Registration is USD 100 regular, USD 75 for MRS members and USD 25 for students; qualifying developing-country professionals pay USD 25 and qualifying students attend free, subject to documentation and the published conditions. An MRS account is required.
