International Journal of AI for Materials and Design is an international, peer-reviewed open-access journal that aims to bridge the cutting-edge research between AI and materials, AI and design. This journal serves the interdisciplinary community of chemists, engineers, physicists, and biologists focusing on how artificial intelligence(AI) can be developed and used for specific applications. Integration of multiple and complementary AI techniques, such as ML, search, reasoning, planning, and knowledge representation, will further accelerate advances in scientific discoveries, engineering excellence and the future of cyber-physical systems manufacturing.
