Oxford Machine-Learned Interatomic Potential (OxMLIP) workshop

Machine-learned interatomic potentials (MLIPs) are becoming increasingly central tools in computational materials research, enabling predictive atomistic simulations at scales relevant to practically relevant problems. They are now being used in a growing range of settings, for example in research on battery electrolytes, solar-cell absorbers, and electronic materials.

To help bring this activity together across Oxford's departments, we are launching OxMLIP, a new MLIP interest group within the Oxford Advanced Materials Network. The aim is to provide an internal focal point for the use of MLIPs: supporting knowledge exchange, promoting wider uptake, and helping to connect researchers who develop MLIP methods with those who would like to apply them in their own work.

As part of the launch, we are organising an initial OxMLIP workshop for researchers from across the University. The workshop has two linked aims. The morning session will introduce the field through an overview talk and presentations by early-career research fellows. The afternoon session will focus on practical demonstrations and is aimed particularly at postdoctoral researchers and DPhil students working in atomistic modelling, as well as those interested in how these methods could be used in their own research.
