Data-Driven Design and Analysis of Structures and Materials

This course provides introductory knowledge on data-driven design and analysis of structures and materials. This course will try to balance theory and practice, such that the students become capable of understanding and using the methods in new scenarios. The first half of the course focuses on introducing machine learning from a probabilistic perspective, providing the foundations to understand current machine learning methods. The second part of the course focuses on applying machine learning to different engineering problems in solid mechanics.
